Pros

Fairly flexible hours, you can work from home with your family and my paychecks never arrived late. I also enjoyed some of my coworkers.

Cons

This company is on the downward slide. They recently made massive layoffs to people they JUST hired (myself included with zero notice and after extensive training). Also, they seemed to have a very odd obsession with watching you with proxies and making you sign into a million IMs... you're basically treated like a child or like you are going to steal company hours. I found that terribly insulting. Whenever I would mention something to a middle manager, I would be told that so-and-so is related to another manager or that they are best friends. In other words, I had no voice.

Pros

(I can only speak for the project I’m on) - Flexible hours - Quick to assist with requests for off time - Remote work - Little to no micromanaging - Can fall out for being sick as needed - Pay is about normal for entry level minimum wage jobs but the plus here is that you save on gas - You get health insurance at full time I can’t speak on how good or bad it is though.

Cons

- No PTO - Equipment not provided (I find this is 50/50 for remote jobs) - There seems to be quite a bit of competition for job postings within the company so you may or may not be sitting in one spot for some time.

Pros

Flexibility, generous PTO for full-time employees, teams are generally respectful of PTO and look out for each other, camaraderie on the social team is high and people genuinely get along, which has a very positive impact on the clients as well. A lot of genuinely good people work here and care about the work and each other.

Cons

Raises and promotions move painfully slow, and pay is not accurate based on the distribution of the actual client work. Social team spends just as much time cleaning up the messes of other departments as they do actually working on their projects, but don't have anything close to the salaries of the people making the messes in the first place, and it feels like very little movement happens whenever serious concerns are raised.
