Vantaggi
-nice coworkers. Generally welcoming and kind -15 days PTO and for the most part, bosses are flexible if you need to go to a doctors appt -remote -Given nice quality tech to WFH -Direct management in the creative department tend to be empathetic people dealing with the same struggles
Svantaggi
-The pay is around 20k under industry standard across the board. Even if they adjusted the wages now, they’d still be in the Stone Age. It’s better to go to a new company where your starting wage is livable because getting a raise at stream is like hoping for water in a drought -No incentives. Stream will continuously ask you to go above and beyond by not only completing your overwhelming client list, but also forcing you to pitch spec work. -regularly worked 9-10 hour days with no lunch break due to overwhelming amount of tasks -No acknowledgement. If you are good at your job, they will pile you with more work months/years before they consider giving you a promotion. I’ve noticed titles like “junior” are often just a reason to pay people less as they will be doing the same job duties as everyone else. Management can be thankless -Benefits are paid out of your check and are EXPENSIVE. -despite being overloaded with work, god forbid you make a mistake. Head proofreaders and other department leaders will run to your bosses over small mistakes
