Pros

Friendly communication from editors and they always respond quickly to any questions or concerns

Cons

This is basically a content mill. Articles require hours of research and their expectations are extremely high for how much a writer should be able to do in a day. Although I was working remotely I found it strange that there was no company culture to speak of. No face-to-face meetings, all communication took place through Skype chat. The CEO is extremely rude and the low salary that doesn't reflect the skill needed to be able to write quality content. No opportunities for growth, it doesn't surprise me that this company has an extremely high turnover for writers.

Pros

Office was in a nice Bristol location and the clients are genuinely really nice people

Cons

Where to start?! The company could not care less about its staff. The large majority of the staff are based overseas and are such incredible people and are the absolute backbone of the company. They are treated as expendable assets to be used and thrown away. A group of us had to strong arm management to implement a maternity policy for overseas staff. And that attitude went towards UK based staff too - questioning compassionate leave, unwilling to accept mental health issues as reasons to be off work. The company policy is NOT to trust staff until the "trust battery" was charged...which never happens. Which is demonstrated in the Orwellian use of intrusive time tracking software that screenshots screens and in some cases records screens. The entire company felt on edge and that has proven to be true in that in a 3 month period 50+% of the UK staff have left...all for moral reasons. The work is fine, the jobs are great, unfortunately they are for a company that has zero interest in the people that make the coffers full. And there is no indication that this is going to change any time soon.
