Pros

- Remote working - Pretty much everyone except the CEOs are really nice, which is a massive shame because:

Cons

If you think you're going to enjoy working for a website relating to self book publishing think again: - Hostile management (CEOs) / who incorporate a 'do as I say and don't argue' - Terrible communication of expected results (and then anger from management when results aren't what they thought of in their head - which they didn't communicate - Reports of even worst treatment to other staff members (leading to a very high rate of people leaving) - 0 respect for employees - All of which leads to a very hostile environment which is shared amongst the views of employees - They list open job roles on job sites that aren't actually available purely to get insights from people applying - as in they'll ask applicants questions and use that insight to make improvements without ever intending to hire that applicant (I have proof saved of this).

With my husband and I both losing our jobs, this ended up being a life saver! Steady work, great authors, and an enjoyable experience

Cons

You can’t control when a client turns you down, or when clients have somewhat unrealistic expectations
