Pros

The people here are awesome. Lifelong friends were made amongst team members, but I'm sure that comes, in part, down to the horrendous working conditions pushed upon us all that encouraged one to huddle against the other in a bid to survive. Central city location.

Cons

Ah, where to start. In summary, it is extremely hard work. A challenging role is one I have always seeked, but this goes beyond that and well into the realm of factory farming. Whether you start early (at least an hour) or finish late (at least 5 hours, working from home), you'll still be stressed beyond belief by the sheer volume of writing that is expected of you on a daily basis. With less than 30 minutes to research, draft and complete an article of at least 300-400 words on a topic you barely know a scrap of information about, you'll be pushed to find time for a lunch break, social life and/or fresh air. One thing to look forward to is the Sunday Night Guilt you'll experience every week, as it suddenly dawns on you that it's Monday tomorrow, you're flailing madly behind on articles, and you won't be able to eat a square meal for at least another 5 days.

Pros

-Leadership actually listens — feedback and new ideas are encouraged, not dismissed. -You get to work with smart, motivated people across content, design, and marketing operations. -There’s a lot of variety — every client and project feels different, so it never gets stale. -Remote-first culture that still feels connected. GChat, video calls, and cross-team collaboration make it easy to stay involved. -Clear structure for growth and recognition if you perform well. -Great exposure to tools -Leadership team is transparent about company goals and performance. -Flexible work hours and strong work-life balance for an agency environment.

Cons

-Deadlines and client expectations move fast. But if you’re organized, it’s manageable.
