Pros

Work from home is good. Fitness app allows you to earn points for gift cards and money in your paycheck. Good amount of PTO.

Cons

Your experience working there varies widely depending on who your manager is. Editor pay is low, but writer pay is high. Same people seem to get promoted all the time.
