Pros

As I said, the people that work here are great. Everyone works hard and gets along for the most part. Another pro is that a lot of the managers work out of town so employees that work in-house have the opportunity to work from home occasionally.

Cons

First of all, let me just say the review below this one is an obvious fake. The culture here is not good right now. Here's why... Last Halloween, the CEO accidentally emailed the entire office saying that she wanted to fire the entire staff. She even called out specific employees by name -- several of them have left since then. She doesn't work in the office (she only visits one week every month or so) so all she could do was send out an apology email. It didn't help... Since then office morale has been lower than ever, no one feels appreciated, several people have been fired, and everyone else is on edge thinking they may get fired next. The upper management has created a toxic atmosphere here that has everyone nervous and the worst part is they don't even seem to realize it. Oh and also the pay isn't great either.

Don't go for it

Pros

They paid on time but they hire only on temporary basis.

Cons

They say it is full time and they don't follow any principles while hiring. We think it is full time but they just want to hire people only for two to three weeks and then fire them. That is why they don't give access to any of them. Career spoiler!

A good company for building skills, but not much else

Pros

Despite what another reviewer here has said, I feel like I actually was adequately paid for my job. The company did provide some basic perks, such as free coffee in the kitchen and some flexibility for coming in late or working from home when absolutely needed. More focus was given on just getting your work done. This is a company where everyone wears multiple hats and must juggle many tasks at the same time. While some may see this as a con, it is a fantastic way to learn new skills and gain valuable work experience, which is extremely beneficial to those who are new to the workforce or branching out into a new department. The people who work at StreetAuthority are overall fantastic and very nice. I rarely saw too much conflict between employees.

Cons

Due to the small size of the company, moving up isn't exactly a viable option. Work/life balance can suffer for employees, depending on what your job is. The editorial department particularly suffers from this, with many employees having to work late to ensure that newsletters and content are posted and sent on time. Many of these newsletters could be automatically complied using technology, but it is still a very manual process. Despite being an online company, the company is technologically behind and does not like to spend money on time-saving software or attempt to make its processes more efficient. Morale tends to dip very low very often, and management did not do much to remedy this. Most common complaints I heard were that people felt overworked or did not believe that they were being heard out. The benefits at this company are subpar, and the health insurance is very expensive, especially if you are supporting a family. Would be a much better job for someone fresh out of college looking to acquire marketable skills. The company was very profit-driven, and lacked in ethics. This is primarily due to the nature of the business, pushing (sometimes very expensive) subscription-based newsletters that had no guarantee of generating a profit.
