Pros

Truly fantastic coworkers in the beginning.

Cons

At first, this was a dream job. Fun, great people, and we truly tried to write great copy. Management was trying their best, but the company grew too fast and truly didn't know how to handle new hires or reward older writers that had been there for years. Soon it became a writing sweatshop, and the writing quality and specific humor meant nothing to higher ups. Creative writers were not given the new positions they deserved; only those that wrote bland, safe copy were given senior positions.

Disconnected leadership makes working here extremely frustrating. Changes are made that don’t directly help anything.
