Pros

- They pay you on time - Fully remote

Cons

- Micromanagement - The pay doesn't match the amount of work they ask from you. They shield themselves with the fact that they hire third-world designers to pay them less (6 dollars per hour, less depending on your region) - They don't offer you any health benefits worth your while since you are an independent contractor - They won't think twice when it comes to firing people. Don't like it? there's the door. No employee appreciation.

Pros

If there are any, its WFH

Cons

CEO's pep talks are fruitless. The biggest threat to workplace culture isn't lazy employees, it's toxic managers, kept in power by senior leadership that won't take responsibility. Not everyone on staff is entitled or underperforming. They're just trying to survive under leadership that's been allowed to rot from the inside out. These managers aren't just untrained, they're also unchecked. Promoted from output, protected from accountability, and shielded from all the consequences of their actions. They lead with fear, favoritism, and fragile egos. Poor communications and terrible morale aren't employee issues; they're symptoms of a culture that protects dysfunction at the top. Stop blaming the staff, and start asking why the most harmful people are the ones who still have a job
