Pros

It is better than being unemployed. Some coworkers were great.

Cons

The founder is a fraud. She convinces you to join her growing company, only to discover that it is anything but growing, it is actually imploding. There is no leadership, no idea of where it is going, and no real value in the company. The founder has one thing going for her - she can sell, even when there is nothing to really sell. Sadly all of the people who work for her, don't realize they have been sold. She claims to be all about women, but then lets her husband do all the decision making. It's weird and uninspiring. It's unfortunate because it sounded so good.

Pros

I loved the pacing of the work and the freedom to make my own decisions about content. I learned a lot about the basics of digital strategy that helped propel my career.

Cons

The company is a bit hands-off in its leadership style, so having self-motivation is definitely neccessary.

Pros

Eventually, you quit or get fired and then you don't have to deal with the CEO and her psychosis anymore.

Cons

Everything, from the compensation to the formulaic and outdated ideas about what a women's media company should be. The CEO is cruel, and just does whatever her husband tells her to do. She lies and prefers to rule with terror rather than by actually encouraging growth or positivity. Has some pretty ridiculous ideas about "being a startup" and "running a tech company" while simply making money off display advertising and SEO scams. Crazy high turnover rate. No one to learn from. Ridiculously slow to innovate or do anything interesting. Sells you on some dumb vision and then wants you to make quizzes to game FB audiences into making click revenue.
