So like none.. I can’t lie

Cons

They severely underpay their workers. They don’t care about you. They will lie to you about being able to move up. They will abuse you

Pros

Used to be a good work environment.

Cons

I've been working at HOTH for some time. It was good at first. The pay is bad but there was a lot of work. But now there is no work and no communication. The management got rid of our slack group and has cut our pay to encourage us to edit badly generated cookie cutter AI articles. Don't work here in 2025, you will regret it. Also there isnt really a way to bring up complaints to the team now that slack is gone, and the email response team doesnt care.
