Pros

Work from home Nice office

Cons

Company operates like a 5 person startup. Lack tech support to effectively do your job, Google docs - so frustrating!!! Micro management is alive and well, can’t sneeze without asking first. Commission plans are medieval and complex

It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoy our generous benefits package and that you are complimentary of your colleagues. This is always fantastic to hear. However, we recognize that the nature of our work, as a company that covers breaking events worldwide 24/7, inherently requires a unique work schedule and sometimes complex workstreams. Providing balance and supporting our employees' well-being are critical priorities on an individual basis and paramount to our success as a team.
