Super Dope Joint - Content Writer Angel Publishing Employee Review

Angel values flexibility, work-life balance, and autonomy. There are some really great, intelligent people working here. This is the closest to a meritocracy I’ve ever encountered in my career, and hard work is rewarded—no matter who you are. In contrast to other so-called libertarian publishers, Angel actually values independent thought and inhabits the laissez-fairest ideals its competitors only perform.

As with any company, there can be some difficult personalities. Angel is growing, so growing pains come with that. Also, it’s a small company, so don’t expect stellar benefits. But there are some great perks and great people that make Angel a pretty decent place to spend 8 hours a day.

I met some pretty cool people. The hours were great. The pay was decent, considering how easy the work is. They are very laid-back, there's no dress code, and they do have several kegs in the kitchen. They like to party. None of that on an individual level was a problem. On the surface, it seemed like a dream come true.

But small companies sometimes means very little in the way of proper management. I was told explicitly, on my first day, to NEVER speak to the CEO even though he sits maybe 10 feet from me. There isn't a rubric for how customer service agents should handle calls, but they do call grading for reviews. They don't tell you in the job description that sales is part of your job as a customer service agent BUT IT IS. They don't give you a quota but they've fired people for not making enough sales. Promotions are handed out based on popularity, not merit.
