Pros
Strategies: This means creating 6-month strategies from scratch and implementing that work until the next "renewal". You will also meet with the companies clients once every six months to discuss your strategy and make adjustments. Other Tasks: Curating content for the clients in the strategies, implementing content on their blogs, performing SEO optimizations for 5-15 pages a month for each of your 30-35 clients. Good: You will be given tools to complete this task such as your typical analytics and keyword research tools at no cost to you. I was paid top tier pay above tenured employees, make your own hours as far as start and leave time.
Cons
Bad: You will not be trained or will have minimal training. There is no training department. Even someone with 10 years of experience should expect a mid-size company to train you in a room with other "new hires". Yeah that doesn't exist. You will simply sit with other current employees who will give you very vague and brief overviews of the task and at no fault to them because they are buried in work as well and need to get back to their desk. In some cases depending on the SEO Knowledge of that employee, its the blind leading the blind. Management: Because their is no training department, management is in between a rock and a hard place. They will discipline you or let you go because of their own short comings. They will use the "opinions" of other employees as their opinion of your work. Which means even if you hit all the marks, you can be let go because of someone else's opinion of you (good or bad). This is not good because that person/co-worker "who does not even know you" can just not like the fact you don't like a movie they like or have different political opinions, even if you don't have any. Weird indeed. It a "high school" approach to management. Basically they hire people with degrees who have no idea how to management good people and talent. So that talent leaves. If you speak out, you will be targeted. Management does not want to expose their own short comings. No. They will protect themselves. Those above them have no idea. All they can go by is what middle managers tell them. Because its employees training you, you get conflicting information on how to do something. So when you make a mistake their is no one to take accountability. But best believe your manager will accuse you of not knowing how to do your job. If you ask for help, you will be seen as "you are asking to many questions". Yet your manager will tell you, reach out any time. If you don't ask for help and take too long on a task, you will be reprimanded. Its a lose/lose. Insanity= Same thing repeatedly and expecting different results, The "problem" blame employees instead of themselves.
