Pros

At first, the environment was fantastic. Writers and editors were trusted and given plenty of room to experiment, do great work, and branch out into other creative areas. A truly lively, diverse department filled with hilarious, talented, and brilliant people.

Cons

Absolutely no opportunities for growth, increasingly unreasonable daily quotas, and out-of-touch upper management that put too much pressure on editorial management (and, in turn, created a culture of hostility) and didn't value the department's contributions. Also, low pay in proportion to the expectation.

Not many cons. People are really cool.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
