Vantaggi
I’d say the pros are essentially testing your ability to handle the pressures and roles of 3-4 people in 1 while maintaining your sanity and integrity. If you didn’t think you were capable of much before this role, you’ll face the flowers of growth faster than you’d expect which will help you understand how capable you ACTUALLY are of handling your job and so many others. Although you’re forced to grow very fast in order to even last, the years of experience you capture in a few months would be the only worthy treasure from this experience.
Svantaggi
The biggest cons about this company is the way they lack clear understanding of all avenues of business , specifically the marketing department. 1. due to their lack of accountability and self control when it comes to spending, they fault the marketing department for not being able to facilitate the extra millions of dollars they’d like to see go directly in to their pocket as their employees remain overworked and under paid. Without fixing or improving their spending habits, none of the actual great progress the marketing team has been able to achieve is acknowledged as such because they are having to overcompensate for their lack of financial discipline and end up still spending more than they have. They see no value in long term efforts or actually strategically spending money because it’s not an overnight viral success or overnight sell out success. They underestimate their customers lifecycle and lack the insight to polish ALL avenues where they could be making extra money to fund the marketing and overall operations of the company. Alongside that, you are constantly working in a state of anxiety and fear at the chance that your job could be non-existent at any given time and you are constantly having to “prove” your value which is a direct insult to the expertise and skills that overly qualified people brought to this company. Furthermore, their communication or lack thereof is absolutely horrendous. From firing employees in team meetings, to barely any communication between departments, to business decisions that would impact us all not being discussed with senior managers or directors? it’s quite disappointing and frustrating to say the least. I throughly believe the reason this company has been able to last this long is the constant disposal of great employees once they’ve overworked them to the point of doing all they need out of them and then refreshing the cycle for a naive newbie with low pay. Shoving the roles of 4 people onto 1 person and placing extremely high unrealistic expectations due to their LACK of actually understanding what certain roles take is very very poor. PLEASE do yourself a favor and stay far away from this company if you value yourself as a professional and a human being worthy of kindness, respect and value that goes beyond “this person only matters because they’re making me money”.
