Vantaggi

You sometimes get to pitch your own ideas.

Svantaggi

Too many to list here. All the websites under Valnet are pretty much content factories. Most of the listicles that you write on will not even make any sense. On top of that, the amount they pay you is absolutely horrible. You will eventually feel burned out because the reward for your effort is never there. During my time, the pay rate was switched from pay-per-article to pay-per-view to a hybrid system. The length of listicles was 15 entries with 100 words per entry and then it was bumped to 25 entries with 200 words per entry, totaling to around 5000+ words per article, plus you have to source all the images yourself. The only reason you should work here is if you are desperate for some money, otherwise, stay away at all costs!

Vantaggi

Working in person in NYC, regular NYC-based junket and red carpet opportunities, travel opportunities a la SXSW, creative freedom, encouraged creative pitches, viewed and treated as a leader, rewarded for hard work, transparent communication from direct bosses and corporate bosses, corporate values me and my team. That's a bullet point list, but to be more clear: I love working here. Love love LOVE. I've seen the ugly side of this industry and I am honored and privileged to be flolicking in the sunshine and rainbows that exists within Valnet. I stand on gratitude every day.

Svantaggi

Salary is fair however it will need to be boosted by year's end - working lengthy weeks and NYC living expenses are piling up. I'm confident that my raise request will be met when the time comes as I regularly exceed expectations in my role, but I want it to be emphasized that the need for a higher salary comes down to living expenses (rent, food) as well as a desire to upgrade my wardrobe for work-based events (new suits). Additional income will be reinvested into my career, which is a benefit for all parties.
