Pros

You get a pay check.

Cons

The management very much has this mentality of leading by intimidation in order to make you work harder. They will routinely compare reporters to others, effectively trying to create rivalries, also in a misguided attempt to get you to work harder. In addition, it's not uncommon for managers to yell in rage for seemingly trivial things. When I confronted my boss's boss, telling him the situation, he shrugged and said, 'That's the job of the manager.' Also, there was very little guidance on how to do the job. You were just expected to know. UNLESS you do it wrong--- and then they will scold you for not doing what they want, even though the manager never actually communicated his or her expectations.

Pros

I get to work from home and have a grand-fathered in unlimited PTO policy. And that's about it.

Cons

RUN. This is just a horrible company to work for. Either you are living in constant fear of being fired or you are so overworked you feel like you have to work 60 hours a week just to do the bare minimum. The CEO, Andrea, is just gutting everything, doing mass layoffs over and over again. He has no clear visit for the company, goal posts keep changing, and everyone is setup to fail.
