Pros
I am a single mom working from home as a senior team member here at VidCruiter. I came to VidCruiter because I was seeking an ambitious, fast-paced work environment, where I could carve out a role for myself as the company grew and evolved. I was working in a sales position where there was always a looming threat of layoffs, and I wanted to have control over my career, but I wanted to work from home so that I could spend time with my son as well. That is exactly what I found. My schedule is reasonably flexible, meaning that if I need to run to a doctor’s appointment, vet appointment, etc, I can make up the time as needed, and I am in charge of my own calendar. If I see a gap in processes, I am able to bring forward ideas or create tools to solve the issue, and my ideas are listened to. When I am off the clock, I am able to fully disconnect, whether it be a vacation or just the weekend, and if I see a task or project that I want to tackle, I am given the opportunity to at least try, and the rest of the senior team has been very forthcoming with the resources and information needed to do my job.
Cons
Working in a company that is growing as fast as VidCruiter is not for everyone. You need to be ambitious, a self-starter, be able to constructively handle feedback and coaching without taking it personally, and be productive for the vast majority of your workday. The platform is quite technical, and things are moving at a fast pace. Big personalities are all around, and they’re not always having their best day ever. All that being said, if you’re the type of person who is solution-focused, who will roll up their sleeves and do what they can to help, who will ask for help when you need it, then you will do fine here, and I look forward to working with you.
