Pros

This job was a great one and yes they expect you to work, but you work with great people and the workflow is fairly straightforward to follow once you get the hang of it. I really love the remote work given my personal circumstances. Everyone is trying to get the best possible job done for the clients, and they recently rolled out additional bonuses and incentives for the team to align client expectations with the employee workload.

Cons

The health insurance coverage can be a bit more generous, though they do offer a bunch of options.

Pros

The business is in a good niche. Working here is better than unemployment. After this job, you might be able to earn a livable wage somewhere else. Leadership is accessible.

Cons

Compensation is very, very low (in the $30,000s). Benefits are expensive and worse than marketplace plans - I paid $300 / month and my insurance didn't cover anything. They offer only 7 days of PTO a year and you must request it a month in advance. That isn't a typo; 7 days of PTO, requested with 30 days notice. Leadership is oblivious to the problem with that policy. Work life balance is nonexistent. Writers are expected to work weekends, evenings, and while sick when there is a deadline. Project managers blame their mistakes on writers. They don't offer raises in step with inflation. Promotions are nonexistent. You've been warned.

Pros

Remote and pretty independent. After a few months of training, you are left alone to do your job.

Cons

Proposal Writer job is titled "Bid Manager Specialist" and salary is 30-35k. Very expensive health insurance options. They advertise a commission structure, but it barely applies to this role (You will receive something like .01%)
