Pros

Flexibility, generous PTO for full-time employees, teams are generally respectful of PTO and look out for each other, camaraderie on the social team is high and people genuinely get along, which has a very positive impact on the clients as well. A lot of genuinely good people work here and care about the work and each other.

Cons

Raises and promotions move painfully slow, and pay is not accurate based on the distribution of the actual client work. Social team spends just as much time cleaning up the messes of other departments as they do actually working on their projects, but don't have anything close to the salaries of the people making the messes in the first place, and it feels like very little movement happens whenever serious concerns are raised.

Pros

(I can only speak for the project I’m on) - Flexible hours - Quick to assist with requests for off time - Remote work - Little to no micromanaging - Can fall out for being sick as needed - Pay is about normal for entry level minimum wage jobs but the plus here is that you save on gas - You get health insurance at full time I can’t speak on how good or bad it is though.

Cons

- No PTO - Equipment not provided (I find this is 50/50 for remote jobs) - There seems to be quite a bit of competition for job postings within the company so you may or may not be sitting in one spot for some time.

Pros

Flexibility, management and HR exhibit humanity , great peers who have a genuine passion for social media and seeing our clients be successful, benefits are great, fun clients, opportunities to learn

Cons

I think this is like Amazon reviews where people who had bad experiences tend to speak up. I’m really surprised at all the negative reviews. People who don’t like being held accountable seem to go back and blame management. I will tell you the real cons. Very inconsistent or low pay increases, account managers lose clients but don’t seem to be held accountable and roles sacrificed are those of front line workers. They also tend to take credit for work done by the social team. Very little diversity in leadership (a panel of blonde females) but the greater team has a more diverse makeup. Being recently acquired is scary especially given there’s a focus on AI
