Pros

Remote, potentially fair work and appreciation for you (Depending on your account)

Cons

Firstly, the title for the position is highly inaccurate. You get sucked into doing quality control which consists of spending around 5-7 hours of your day making sure fonts, spellings, and color schemes are correct. I was in a meeting once where a manager stared at a fence for 20 minutes trying to decide if it was the right color, despite past references of published ads being consistently one color (took 2 minutes to find that out but he didn't care, he still kept staring), but if that work puts money on the table I can't argue. I'm not trying to make people who do the work feel bad. Just understand that there is little to no career progression to be made here, you're simply a glorified janitor for advertisements. Secondly, there is a clear communication divide between upper management and entry level employees. I was constantly getting asked pointed questions and statements such as "Did you even do this?", "Did you even look at this?", "Do you even understand this?", "You should be an expert on this", "It flows here but it doesn't flow here" for slide decks and work that had limited information provided in the first place. Every question straight up implying you didn't do your job and you should be ashamed of yourself. They micromanage your work and are inept at providing decent criticism, poking at you until you give them a reason to be shocked that you'd dare question their empty criticisms. They want you to do a good job without knowing what they want. Who knows, maybe you'll land a different account. Chances are, if they're hiring for an open position, it won't be the good one. Thirdly, they tout flexibility but I've been messaged "where are you?" while literally being in the bathroom before. After receiving a meeting link randomly, I've been questioned within minutes where I am. I had to turn on notifications on my personal phone to avoid the scrutiny. Interviewers proudly say how they can go to the gym while balancing work, but the reality is, I was told within days that "flexibility is earned". Enjoy having that carrot dangled in front of you. I say all this, while never going a day without having finished my work. I agree that employees should be available when needed, but be reasonable and give them some time to reply to a message. If you're ever let go, they won't give any kind of warning that your performance is lacking. Its not that they aren't capable of trying, they just don't understand how to critique you. They'll just roll their dice and hope the next person is a yes-man/woman and gives more motivation than they deserve.

Pros

If you are after being challenged daily, and get rewarded as well, you have to consider working at Creadits. Management teaches the way of the shark and I think as a sales leader in the United States territory, it is the more appropriate mindset and culture. I love how i am able to be always on my feet and always hunting. It fortified my working habit as a leader and as an individual contributor.

Cons

Nothing much i can say as cons, other than the same pressure that kept me on my feet and kept me productive and creative, it can also break one if approached differently.

Pros

Work from home, made some good friends for several different nationalities and cultures. Middle managers were good people.

Cons

Egregious Nepotism. Senior Management "restructured" nearly every 4-6 months. Extremely high employee turnover due to spontaneous layoffs or peers leaving due to burnout. No upward mobility, just role shuffles with minimal, if any, adjusted pay. 2+ years there and incentive package was continuously nerfed with each role change. Ultimately, doesn't understand their product or their client's goals. Constantly trying to upsell beyond their capabilities, setting employees up for failure.
