Pros

They offer lenient employee scheduling.

Cons

- Gross under compensation - No annual raises (or any raises) or bonuses for top-performing employees - Unrealistic workload - No training - Unattentive management - An overall attitude that every employee is replaceable. BookFuel does not see value in their employees and that attitude was reflected every day I was there.

Pros

WaveCloud has renamed to BookFuel. They are rapidly becoming a leader in the self-publishing industry. It has been fun to see the company now achieve significant sales volume and improve its service delivery for authors. It is a fun place to work.

Cons

The company did morph a few times until it found itself mid-2015. That made it challenging for some employees to keep up or who were required to "pivot" with the changes.

Pros

work from home capability is nice

Cons

horrible sales management and policies. Mgmt does not care about employees. Will not give you accurate feedback. With less than 20 people employed, you can clearly see a lack in business model. No HR, no finance, no AP, jobs are done by people in different areas minimizing efficiency. Every rule, regulation, and policy changes at least once a month. I was #3 out of 8 people in overall sales and was let go due to "performance issues" after 4 sales in three days. Dont believe what this company says. Says the contracted position is 90 days only but if you dont speak up they will keep you as a contractor as long as possible to avoid taxes and not provide benefits. since this is a privately funded company yet to turn a profit, all mgmt cares about is impressing the investors. mgmt uses scare tactics to make you increase sales. does not give you positive support and will not commend you for a job well done. Some employees are immature and steal leads/constantly talk trash behind your back. If i were you, stop right now and find a REAL company. Leaving Bookfuel/Wavecloud was the best thing that happened to me. Do not work for this "company"
