        Pros

        The flexibility with Boldly is second to none. You can increase/decrease your hours as it suits you. I also love how you can choose the clients you work with. There's never pressure to say "yes" to a client you don't feel is a good fit. Management seems to always be on your side and your opinion is truly valued. There's also so much support and guidance in the Boldly network, whether it be from team leaders, upper management, or fellow colleagues. Even though you are working remotely, you never feel alone! I'm a mother of small children and this is hands down the best possible job for me. I can be there for my kids when they are sick, when they come off of the bus from school, or even volunteer at the school every now and then, all while maintaining a career I can be proud of. To me, that is invaluable.

        Cons

        The only con I can think of is the pay. However, Boldly is transparent about what they pay from the get-go, and they are also open with the team about where the money goes. The flexibility offered makes up for the lower pay in my opinion, but I can definitely understand why the pay wouldn't work for some.

          Pros

          The company is as transparent and communicative as they come - you can find answers to virtually any of your questions on their website and social media pages, and so long as you understand and appreciate their core values (and meet their prerequisite requirements, which they are firm on) the application process should be smooth for you - it certainly was for me! They are very thorough, but it's because you're working fully-remote and they have to properly vet applicants. It took me about 4 weeks to get through the process, but they were clear about what was to be expected each step of the way. Re: benefits, they provide a technology stipend, paid holidays and PTO, a 401k match for part- and full-time employees (which is fantastic and practically unheard of) as well as health insurance, so long as you meet a monthly minimum set of hours. Boldly has done the remote work model for years and it's clear they've nearly perfected it. They're ahead of the game, and I hope more companies will follow suit!

          Cons

          The pay is on the lower side and there isn't room for negotiation, but they're transparent about what you can expect from the jump, and their website mentions there are opportunities for growth and pay increases over time. Judging by how honest their business model seems, I believe it.

                Business Outlook

                Pros

                Boldly has established a culture that values care and work-life balance. The entire team is compassionate and supportive. I feel like the company provides me with the necessary support to handle my clients. Whether I require assistance with tasks or someone to lend a listening ear, my team is always there for me. They offer excellent compensation and benefits, including certain benefits for part-time employees. I cannot praise Boldly enough!

                Cons

                Despite being an excellent platform, the only downside of using Boldly is that it lacks the in-office interaction that some people might crave. Since Boldly is completely remote, interactions with co-workers are limited to virtual meetings and training sessions conducted via Zoom. However, to overcome this, I try to engage in social activities outside of work to maintain a healthy level of social connection.

                  Pros

                  When I joined Boldly over 3 years ago, I thought for sure it was too good to be true. As a military spouse, I was looking for a part-time position that would allow me the flexibility to be present for my family and follow me if we were called to move. Boldly has provided that and so much more! Not only is the company culture based on kindness and care, but our team is composed of incredibly talented, hardworking professionals. The work environment is friendly, positive and collaborative. The management team consistently solicits feedback and truly hears what is shared. Since joining Boldly, our family received new military orders and moved to a new state. It was a seamless transition and I am so grateful that my role at Boldly moved with me! It is a privilege to work for such a great company. I have a fulfilling career and great work/life balance!

                  Cons

                  I honestly cannot think of any cons. Boldly is a great place to work!

                    Pros

                    I love working for a company where the values listed on the website are backed up by the actions within the business. I also love being in a place where hard work and dedication are acknowledged and appreciated!

                    Cons

                    There is a trade off for true remote work, flexibility, culture, and access to premium level clients for the amount of compensation you receive. However, Boldly is super transparent for every role with what the compensation will be, and even breaks down where the money goes when you're part of the company. So if you choose to go in it is with "eyes wide open" and it is fair.

                      Pros

                      Everything about this company is amazing! From realizing that the "too good to be true" feeling is a reality, the support from all of the Boldly staff, the transparency, the company culture of respect and kindness, the flexibility to work around your time and your life...to Boldly always looking for ways to make their employees environment and employment experience better. Boldly prides itself in offering premium assistance with kindness and passion. When you are given that same kindness, passion, and respect it makes you want to be an even better employee. They care about their employees as much as they care about their clients, which says a lot! I truly have found my dream job!

                      Cons

                      There isn't anything I can really think of! Sometimes clients not utilizing their hours is a little bit of a drawback, but it's not often that it happens.

                        Pros

                        When I first saw the job posting for Boldly, I thought it had to be a scam because it looked way too good to be true. I did my research and not only realized that Boldly is a legitimate company but also that this was something that I needed to be a part of. If could get into this amazing company, I knew I would truly have found my dream job. As I learned, Boldly has a long and thorough application process. However, I have incredible respect for the process and fine selection that lands them only the best of the best in their target fields. I have been with Boldly for a year and a half and have never been as happy as I am now. I am so grateful that a place like Boldly exists and that I was able to become a part of such an incredible team of people. Both my Boldly family and my clients are amazing people. We have a mutual respect and understanding for each other. Most importantly, there is truly work-life balance, which is rare these days. I go to work every day excited to start my day and will be forever grateful!

                        Cons

                        I haven't seen or experienced 1 con to working at Boldly since I have been here.

                      Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
