Pros

Some pros to Communicus are the salary and benefits, the people are fairly nice, group happy hours and interesting work structure since it’s easily done from home.

Cons

Some cons to Communicus are the demands can often be unknown. Communication at Communicus always seems to be lacking in my experience multiple people have different expectations so you always end up falling short. So stress is high because expectations seem to be all over the place. If you offer to help with some clients be prepared to be told you are only committed to x clients. The work seems to be straight forward once you learn it, but turn over always seems to be ridiculous because they don’t allow much breathing room for human error. And despite their packet that seems to talk kindly about having mental illnesses or grievances they don’t care. So don’t share. Their seems to be a level of nepotism so if you can be favored or friended you’ll likely be able to hold your job. Work seems to be offloaded onto a lot of other people and I am not entirely sure if this is by design or just how the company has always been. In result worklife balance is often work long days and workout when you can. Also be warned because I was told I was doing well and that I was consistently making great improvements and suddenly got blindsided with a termination because I brought the fact I wasn’t being understood or able to know what was expected of me. During this time we had received a lot of new management and it seemed like I received direction from 3+superiors .

Pros

An engaging and challenging work environment where innovation and a top-of-your-game mentality reign supreme. Stagnancy does not survive here. A company that fosters personal responsibility without the need to micromanage the staff; whose work ethic and standards far exceed any I've experienced before. A place conducive to contributing a fulfilling function with reassuring emphasis on teamwork and collaboration. Communicus provides the opportunity to grow and mature both as a person and as a professional.

Cons

The steep learning curve proves for a challenging experience where determination and a will to succeed are a must. Only in the absence of these qualities does the challenge seem like a con. You find out within the first few months if you are a good fit for the company and vice versa. Realistically speaking, this aspect is most likely what enables Communicus to maintain such high caliber staff. The ebb and flow of the work load means sometimes having to straddle the work-life balance, but the staff benefits and positive office culture communicates just how important each member is to the Communicus team.
