Pros

Well respected content. Large audience. Some great products.

Cons

Toxic environment. Company relies very heavily on contractors with no opportunity to become permanent. Permanent employees have little opportunity to be promoted. Management has no clear direction for the company. Competitive employees that think nothing of talking bad of others behind their backs and freely throw others under the bus. Those with children regularly abuse work from home policy. Company is owned by Johnson & Johnson who promotes children's health yet produces highly toxic products for little ones. Working here was hands down the worst experience I have had in my career.

Zero Guidance

Pros

Flexible work life although sometimes an old school “you need to be seen to know you are working”

Cons

No guidance at all, employees are expected to come up with annual goals with no input from their managers and are penalized if they don’t. Managers, especially the leadership team would rather delegate vs guide and mentor. Most power and emphasis is put on the sales team, if they don’t like you, you might as well leave because their word is gold.
