Pros

Get to see and try exciting new products/brands. Fast paced so you will never run out of things to do.

Cons

No onboard Intro/training for new staff members, you are expected to know and get on with the business. Management not approachable when you ask questions. You are made to feel little and Incapable of your job, constantly making the staff cry on a regular basis. The work ethics are not reflective of the business. There is no Contentment or Wellbeing in the business. You are expected to stay back after office hours. You are constantly micromanaged and can not keep up with the constant mood swings and tantrums of the owner of the company. Owner lacks emotional well-being, staff are traumatised and constantly under pressure, workload and deadlines are nonsensical and unahievable. Turnover rate of around 10 staff a year in a company with less than 20 staff

Pros

The team. When you go through something as emotionally damaging as working at Content you can't help but grow close bonds. You get a 30% discount but I would rather pay more and have my money go in someone else's pocket. You can also find most products cheaper elsewhere anyway.

Cons

The lies, the hypocrisy and the abuse. It starts at the interview when you will be sold a job that doesn't really exist for a company that has big plans that also don't really exist. Content is all about being environmentally friendly but staff are not allowed to spend time recycling (even when they ask to) and so products are thrown in the garbage rather than emptied and recycled, given to staff or donated. Content is also all for female-empowerment but the women are so badly paid and there are no concessions made for mothers. You will never be able to do anything good enough. You will be shouted at. You will be called names.

Pros

The products you get to see and work with

Cons

All employees are being ridiculously underpaid No benefits within the company (except 30% discount but you can find the products cheaper in other places) Strong avoidance of industry best practices No communication within the company - founder expects you the be constantly reading her mind and if you can't do that she will treat you like a child No management structure doesn't matter how experienced you are - you will get treated as an assistant Employees get emotionally bullied, sworn at and cry on a daily if you are lucky - weekly basis
