Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy

Pros

It's hard to think of any when they take away your livelihood

Cons

They lay you off via email while the CEO jumps from podcast to podcast touting the platform's immense user growth and profitability. If that's the kind of culture you're looking for then this is the place for you

Pros

I don't think I can find the words to express how happy I am here. I thought it would be a dream come true, and THEN IT WAS. Management is exceptionally kind, compassionate, and understanding. Can't imagine being elsewhere.

Cons

Because I'm a part-time employee, I'm making $15 an hour currently. It's actively less than what I was getting paid in other social media jobs in my past, but from what I understand, $15/hr is the standard for interns and part-time employees. Subject to change, of course.
