Pros

Began working 7 months and then 10 months with summers off; met some wonderful people and friends; pay for seasonal work was well rewarded

Cons

Once I was written up for suggesting to a supervisor an idea I had for a flyer she wrote. Note: she had just graduated with a B.S. in Education, where I had a B.S. in Business-emphasis Marketing, an Associate Degree in Marketing and had worked as a Marketing Coordinator for 7 years writing copy writing for a catalog and writing advertising pieces and newsletters. At my review, she brought up that I had gone to her making a suggestion of change to the flyer she wrote. I just kept quite and signed the review knowing from past experience one is not allowed to disagree with a supervisor and survive long term at this company without dire consequences.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
