Pros

Not much. There used to be lunch. Decent work/life balance.

Cons

First off, the salaries are not competitive. The company's hiring strategy is to find people who are not aware of their value so they can lowball. However, the biggest problem is the sense of nepotism that flows throughout the company. As it grows, there is more of a divide between employees. There is a noticeable difference among those in the "inner circle" from those that are not. If you aren't already in that inner circle, you won't get there. Opportunities for growth and advancement go to those in the inner circle over all else - regardless of qualifications (or lack of). This nepotism is hindering the company's ability to grow and be successful. Employees can treat others like garbage without fear of discipline. One employee sent an email bashing another to the leadership team. No corrective action was taken - in fact, it's likely that the employee who was disparaged doesn't even know because she is remote and they tried to keep her from finding out that another employee was being critical of her. Perceived harassment by one of the employees, which gets laughed off by the leadership team. The current leadership would rather make no decisions then take the time to find the right decision. And when a decision must be made, they appear to make decisions without looking at data or getting informed.

Pros

The best part about WSOL is being able to work from home and make your own schedule based on when you are available to work. If you have doctor appointments this week, maybe working evenings will work out best. If you have kids in school, maybe you want to work while they are in school and have your evenings free. You can make your schedule work for you week to week. No commuting, no sitting in traffic, no filling up the gas tank constantly!

Cons

Because you work at home, there will always be distractions from pets, family members, people coming to the front door. You have to schedule to work when there is a quiet atmosphere and not alot of background noise. You need to keep a copy of your schedule and work the hours that you have taken and be conscientious. You are essentially your own boss, and signing in to work on time and working when you sign up to work is very important. There aren't many cons to this job, but there are no paid vacation days or compehensive benefits. Also if you are a people person, you may miss being with other people. I am just fine working with "virtual" colleagues, so it doesn't bother me at all.
