Offered good and flexible hours. Flexible with schedule. Good place to get feet wet in sales. Had good work/life balance. Company ahead of the curve compared against other publishing companies.

Cons

Pay was low for the position. Sales goals not defined until late in the year. Don't see much room for advancement. High turnover.

Pros

Ear-to-the-ground product development, corporate willingness and even eagerness to change and improve focus, work-flow & product, great benefits & atmosphere, amazing internal communication & resources - as a remote employee I feel EXTREMELY connected to my company. I feel we are MILES ahead of our competition and the amount of investment in non profit-generating support functions [such as tech & sales support, etc.] is simply stunning. I probably sound like a corporate "plant" asked to provide a positive review here but I swear I'm not. I have never been happier in a job/career than I am at this moment, this company amazes me.

Cons

Average salary, average bonus structure [no better or worse than other companies - should be better, however], the fact that this is a public company means that profit and earnings are and remain a common goal [not a horrible thing], the idea that our ownership could change in the near future and this "dream situation" could end.
