Cons
Do not be fooled by the cool vibe and fun environment! They seem to attract kids fresh out of college who don’t know any better. The snacks and beanbags will only lee you happy for so long u til you realize you’re stuck in a dead-end position that will cause you to go into debt because you’re making so little!!!!!!! - Not even close to fair compensation. - Mediocre work is accepted and even encouraged at times. - Company does not seem to care about or respect employees. Will promise things are getting better and ask you to wait a few months for exciting news, only to offer a joke of a solution. - As the smart employees start to realize they’re wasting their time, wages of new hires roll in. It’s depressing to see these poor souls being sucked into this crushing, demeaning role. - Very, very little room for development. You will be promised that you can take on more responsibility and there will be tons of promotion opportunities, but in reality, there are about 60 people vying for one spot on average. This doesn’t make upward mobility feasible for the large majority of the team. - The mission to support local businesses and help them find their voice online (what draws in a lot of employees!) is almost never carried out. With such a heavy workload, it’s nearly impossible to provide customers with the crafted and unique content they’re promised. Most businesses receive the same exact content that 10-20 others are. - A work environment that can frustratingly make you feel like your back in high school. Gossip and back stabbing? Check, check! Cliquey attitudes? Check! Have fun with that. - Some inexperienced, unqualified management that’s treats you as if you’re a child.
