Pros
- Strong work culture - Team is adamant about learning and knowing the latest trends in digital marketing - Great clients
Cons
- Pay is $14 (originally $13) an hour and you receive no benefits or company profits/stock. You're expected to do a lot for very low pay. - You have to use your own personal computer. A company one is not given. Meaning, you have to use our own resources to do this job. - Inefficient management and systems: daily meetings about what you're going to do for the day. Reporting on what you did during the day at the end of the day. Bi-weekly and weekly meetings to discuss what you've been working on for the last week and what you're going to do next. - Little - non-existent autonomy: management style lends more towards micro-management. Managers will outline what work you can do, even though you're a contractor. Ideas in discussion are supported but during the actual implementation phase, there is a lot of doubting and push back. - Lack of foresight: webinars and events are planned a few days in advance so outcomes are poor (i.e. late webinar planning --> 4 attendees, late event planning --> 6 sign ups). - Young team: there are no experienced professionals so management is inexperienced with guiding others and titles of management are inflated. - Management team are close friends: their emotions enter into work conversations. - Lack of execution: excitement and hype over efforts but little practicality towards the actual work that it takes to achieve solid outcomes.
