Pros

- Your co-workers are nice. - You could get paid for your pop culture knowledge. - It's an English job in a Francophone province. Look, if you're straight out of school filled with dread about what to do in the future, then you're the perfect fit for WatchMojo. They'll pick you up, put you at a desk, tell you to do a few things, and they will also pay you for it. You don't necessarily need to know everything to be a good employee at WatchMojo – you can always learn WHILE you're doing the things. No one can tell the difference between someone who really knows what they're doing and someone who's just really good at selling themselves as such.

Cons

- Management believes and lets everyone know that everybody is replaceable. - Pay is not the greatest. - They treat it like it's the ONLY English job in a Francophone province. In other words, they over-hype their value. The production team is full of good ideas, but most of the stuff that gets executed come from higher up. A lot of the "weird" things that the company does that seem "off-brand" can be traced back to one source. (Hockey trivia? Live show in New York? A business channel? A children's channel?) There's a big disconnect between the people who actually create content/value for the company and those who reap the benefits. (This is most obviously reflected in pay.)

Thanks, good/fair feedback. We tend to treat that more on a case-by-case basis to ensure those who "deserve/have earned" (for lack of better term) can get bumps sooner. But too often, we have writers/researchers with whom we stay committed to & patient and many other publishers would cut off... so it's a balancing act. But, noted. Thx. AK.
