Pros

- Flex Time Off was respected and you were allowed to take longer time off if you planned ahead appropriately and worked with your manager on it. - At the "worker bee" level the people you work with day in and day out are excellent and professional - Hours are flexible since working from home began, as long as the work is completed and you're available for meetings and are actively participating you can work from 8 to 5, 9 to 6, etc. - If you are a supplement user the discount is pretty friendly

Cons

- Company structure seems to be turning into an inverted triangle. Loss of employees on the "worker" level, whether through attrition or layoffs (which have become incredibly frequent) has led to an org chart that's wide on top and thin on the bottom. - Constantly pivoting to put out fires has led to whiplash for both the employees and the customers - Piling on more and more job responsibilities under the guise of "opportunities" is the norm. When a coworker leaves there's almost a guarantee that the position won't be backfilled and that others will have to take on the work, regardless of whether that job required a certain level of expertise. When responsibilities are added to another job that may not have that expertise there's no support in learning how to effectively manage those responsibilities. - Employees are being used less and less for their area of expertise and more to fill gaps. Tough luck if you don't know anything about SEO, we need that job filled and you're now the foremost expert in it. Think Jack of All Trades, Master of None. - Lack of cross-departmental transparency and communication has created silos that function independently of one another despite the need to coordinate on projects, branding, etc. - Previous relationships with bodybuilding shows and enterprises have fallen on the rocks and attempts to repair them and work together seemed to have come to a standstill - Content relies on "freebies" and "shot on an iPhone" style which has its place but it's not an overall plan for a company that used to pull in tons of visitors for content alone. - Overall approach to content, app, etc seems to have shifted entirely from quality to quantity at the cheapest cost.
