Pros

Free lunches, easy to park, good places to eat nearby, camaraderie with the team. Used to be a nice place to work.

Cons

CEO tells project managers to make promises to their clients that he knows are undeliverable, so he makes them lie to keep them. It doesn't matter, though, because they will leave, anyway, when they realize it. Then, the CEO will blame the employee for not doing their job and make spreadsheets and charts about how much money the employee has lost the company. The whole thing is ridiculous. The office is incredibly ugly, I might add, and it's a wonder they have any clients at all with that kind of presentation.

Pros

I help all of our clients increase their web visibility via social media channels. This can be confusing work, but I'm very detailed and enjoy the repetition and creativity that goes into measured results for our clients. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat.

Cons

While there is some flexibility in hours, they can be long as we have to get the job done.

Stable work. Comfy office. Decent benefits. Nice people, except for management, so I found out after resigning.....(see cons)

Cons

Note: Following story took place in Summer of 2016. >Return from ESL abroad to living at home >applying to grad schools >get hired here for $13/hr >work 9 months writing SEO pages, crappy press releases which nobody reads, only computers read >manager sits 3 feet away from me 40 hours a week verifying all my work, develop decent working relationship >work 9 months, never late, one sick day, spend 5 hours a day working, 3 on reddit >get fellowship to study, say i'm leaving, do my 2 weeks' >move to new city, ask boss for recommendation to new job >smug tone of voice >Me: what's going on >Boss:"you really shouldn't have written that glassdoor review" >Me: what >Boss: "you said our CEO was incompetent. he said he tried to call you and text you but never heard back from you" >Me: I didn't write anything on that crappy site. Uhhh I check my phone every 5 minutes, didn't hear anything. Why don't you judge me by 9 months hard work over some anonymous post on a site no one cares about? >Boss: "Well we all thought it was you because the review was well-written. Here's CEO's # why don't you call and explain the situation." >I hang up >Hmm maybe I should actually write a review. Nah. >1.5 years later: >Friend says I should post this as a warning to others. Now I am actually writing a negative review for how you've treated me. Also, as a content writer, the elements you write will NOT improve SEO ratings (company lies to clients to retain them).
