Pros

Remote work, flexible hours, the people you directly work with are awesome!

Cons

-Layoffs WILL happen. In my short time at GAMURS, there were multiple teams laid off. In fact, everyone that was on my team previously has been laid off since I last worked there. Right before I left, there was a huge push for managers to hire contractors internationally so that they could get a higher output of articles at a cheaper rate. -They do not care about you as an individual. You are a number to them and the second you aren't what they're looking for, they will fire you and look for someone new. -Cannot trust what management says. Before I was laid off, I was told "The company is doing very well. No massive layoffs are coming." A week later, almost everyone on The Escapist was laid off. And then a few weeks later, myself and others on my team were laid off too.

Pros

The work was great and my team was amazing. The pay and benefits were also great. Working my way up to Managing Editor from Freelance Writer was amazing.

Cons

The direction from management on how to improve was poor. Mass layoffs over email with no warning and no way to discuss further options sucked.
