      Good work-from-home setup but variable management experience

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Work from home is good. Fitness app allows you to earn points for gift cards and money in your paycheck. Good amount of PTO.

      Cons

      Your experience working there varies widely depending on who your manager is. Editor pay is low, but writer pay is high. Same people seem to get promoted all the time.
