I'll just go ahead and point out my observations about every type of work experience at Planit.
Social Media people:
Paid mainly to astroturf Glassdoor.com -
Have little actual ROI for clients, so clearly they're always involved in projects -
Requires at least 40 followers on twitter.
PMs:
Ya know how Wale E. Coyote never catches the road runner because it moves too fast? The road runner is client expectations, process, and attitudes. And you forgot your asthma inhaler at home.
Account Executives:
Mostly hired on looks over talent -
Long hours -
Low pay -
Long hours -
Live fast die fast attitude, tons of turnover -
Can be more of a babysitter for the developers than anything facing clients. And boy, if you make promises to the client that your devs don't agree with, you will definitely get scolded. I've seen my fair share of AE's crying because of how "direct" the developer team is.
Print Designers:
Everyone is an art director because this field is drying up.
Copy Writers:
You get to work with one of the coolest dudes out there, so the low pay is probably (maybe?) worth it?
Developers:
Low pay -
Long hours -
You get to support different antiquated websites all built on different tech stacks -
Lead developer is "prickly" to put it nicely -
Work/life balance is like a sumo wrestler standing on a bowling pin -
High turnover.
Digital designers:
Pretty sweet team.
UX/digital marketing:
Making wireframes of what they actually do 40 hours a week
