- BEWARE!!! Managers (C-level) may act in opposition to company values, as well as to basic moral values!
My situation was that I worked for almost 2 weeks without signing a contract due to not being able to go to the city where the company is based and sign, and now, almost a year later, I am still not compensated for that work.
Sending emails, having recordings of interviews and going in person to ask for said compensation in the span of almost a year now has been treated with disregard (no response to emails for 3 months despite multiple follow-ups), disrespect (no response & lack of remorse & lack of an attempt to compensate) by managers and even aggression (physical and verbal) by the owner of the company on the second attempt to request 5 min of their time was made.
- Quantity over quality (at least while I was there) - word count and article count were being prioritized over the quality of texts, resulting in high-stress situations and lack of motivation to deliver good content.
- Reporting system for copywriters and metrics was not optimal while I was there (up until early Q1 of 2024) - weekly reports are required with written material and length, but those reports do not provide as good an outlook as monthly reports that show the total numbers, and needless pressure can be felt when weekly targets are not met, despite monthly targets ending up being met or even exceeded.
