Business outlook

Pros

-Nice enough people -Fairly independent work -Feels like a good springboard for alternative, more interesting opportunities if you're willing to stick it out and also work on hard skills that aren't trained in the role (data analysis, data vis, etc)

Cons

-Very repetitive and boring -Actual product is being encroached on by AI (especially as the entire team will be USING AI to assist in generating the content produced and sold to clients and the company response to this isn't great) -You're probably going to catch yourself working outside of regular hours fairly regularly and the salary is pretty bad given that's the case
