Great remote work but dependent on supervisor quality

Content analyst

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote all the way, quick tech support if needed, very organized onboarding process.

Cons

It really depends on your supervisor, if you work under nice people, it’s great (even though the pay is low), if you happen to work under some power obsessed losers, you will be micro managed to the end, they talk to you like some kind of royal, even filing a complain doesn’t work.
