Pros
I have a background in big tech companies, so I know what it's like as a creative / copywriter to work 60+ hr weeks and watch others take credit for your work. That doesn't happen here. The CEO enforces 40-hr workweeks and gives us ever seventh week off, and she decided to do that because she wanted every 7th week off but didn't want to leave us to do the work while she was gone. So she gave us all that time off, too. We have a good healthcare spending account. We get our birthdays off. We get two weeks off at Christmas. I've never had so much vacation time or relaxation time. I have the freedom to try on a lot of hats, which is good because I don't feel like I'm getting tired of the work. We also have really happy customers that we keep making new products for, which they love. And the brand is well respected in our space.
Cons
The team is remote, so it's hard to feel connected somedays. The healthcare account is good to cover things like braces outright except that leaves me with $0 to cover prescriptions and other things. Might be worth a traditional healthcare plan for employees. Product launches are exhausting.
