Good people to work with but financially unsustainable and non-motivating

Hoth x campaign manager

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good working environment - Good people who make you feel welcome - Flexibility with time off and working hours - Direct management is A+ - Direct management is open to new ideas and feedback - Fun office atmosphere with dogs in the office - Good opportunity to learn about SEO and client experience

Cons

- Low base pay is not competitive enough to be able to afford to live in the Tampa Bay area - Very rare opportunities to move up and advance your career, unless you force their hand with another job offer - This is more than an entry-level role, you are compensated as entry-level - No opportunity to get a raise in current position, or in most of the company - Compensation structure does not incentivize employees to retain clients - Underlying problems with products and services, many of which are behind the rest of the market - Even with a promotion you will be making far below the market rate - Intentionally hire people with less experience knowing that they can retain them longer with less pay - You can get your job done in 40 hours and not have to work overtime but it will be hard to produce high-quality work, employees that produce high-quality work are working overtime and are not compensated or recognized for it

Pros

Everything was online Work schedule Pay on time

Cons

Their point system for writers is sketchy. I got fired and the reasons they gave of what I did wrong was proven I didn't actually do it wrong. I asked if I could have an online meeting or phone call to discuss what the mistakes I made were. They refused. And just ignored anytime I tried to communicate with them. Poor business practices to train writers and then dispose of them after a month. When I went over the rubics in the handbook my points were actually no where near fireable. They need higher ups that train and actually care about their employees that they communicate and not just in emails.
