Pros

You really learn the ins and outs of copy editing. Your trainer is constantly in contact with you, gives really detailed feedback and is open to any and all questions (even the stupid ones you think no one has ever asked before). You're autonomous during the editing process. They really do trust you to hit the ground running after the initial training process.

Cons

Monotony of work; you've got a quota to reach and so it's just go go go during your shift. As it's remote, there's just you and the computer. The feedback is very detailed with all the mistakes you missed during your edits, which can be disheartening, but it's never ever nasty. But if you snag a good trainer, it'll be tempered with good praise hopefully.

Management Wants Us to Fill Out Glassdoor Reviews...

Pros

Well, I finally got the call from upstairs to fill out a positive Glassdoor review. The pros are that there are pre-packaged bagels in the kitchen most days, and coffee is free.

Cons

Unfortunately, this company is so cheap it's just insulting. The yes-man CEO that Turner promoted only cares about numbers, and the more miserable the staff is (and yes, the staff is almost universally miserably outside of management), the happier the big guys up top are. It means people are working non-stop for very low wages. Win-win! There is almost no room to move up, as promotions almost never happen. They'll keep dangling that carrot though.

SPORTS! BEER!... MISMANAGEMENT! LOW PAY!

Pros

- Free beer & snacks - Very casual, relaxed office environment - IF you're full-time, the 401k employer match is pretty great Note: Overall this is a decent place to work, but please read my cons...

Cons

On paper, Bleacher Report seems like a dream job for a 20-something sports lover. But the reality of it all is truly the opposite. The beer, snacks and laid back environment is all a diversion. Take that away and you are left with an extremely untrustworthy, cheap and horribly mismanaged company. Management does not reward hard work or even good work, but rather the employees that are buddy buddy with the fraternity-like group of overpaid and under-qualified managers who have been grandfathered into their positions since the startup days (before Turner bought the company). Promotions and fair compensation is hard to come by. Temporary employees are promised full-time employment, yet are hired then fired repeatedly every sports calendar year to save money. The company is not loyal to their full-time employees and will fire you without notice if they choose. The video department specifically is very divided. Management is passive aggressive and refuses to address or fix any of these problems. The underlying theme at Bleacher Report is that the product must thrive at the expense of the employee. I encourage you to stay away.
