Pros
Working remote and with friendly, professional people
Cons
f you’re considering working here as a contractor, I’d recommend proceeding with caution. There were several early warning signs I wish I had recognized sooner, but I kept giving the benefit of the doubt.
I was initially hired as an Instructional Designer, but the majority of my work turned into multimedia development due to my background and skills. I contributed to three eLearning projects during my time, and unfortunately, all were poorly organized from the start. Projects were often handed off with little to no direction, unclear expectations, and without any established review or editing process. It felt like you had to rely on your best judgment and intuition to figure everything out.
One major red flag was being asked to design an interactive eLearning showpiece in only 60 minutes, which is simply unrealistic given the parameters and quality expectations. In reality, that level of work takes between 8–16 hours to complete properly.
While the pay rate was fair, there were issues with delayed payments, requiring escalation to leadership and even the financial department/CEO. Communication about these issues was inconsistent and at times unprofessional—my contract was terminated without warning or proper notice, with notifications sent only via personal email.
On the positive side, the people themselves were friendly and professional, but the work environment and project management processes made the experience very challenging. There’s minimal support or guidance for contractors, and expectations are often misaligned with the time, tools, and direction provided.
Overall, this company asks a lot from contractors without offering the structure or clarity needed to succeed. If you value clear communication, realistic timelines, and stability, this may not be the right fit.
