Pros

The Social Element offers work-from-home employment for lots of people who might otherwise struggle to hold an office job. Nice people, trying to do a good job.

Cons

The business suffers from a lack of strategic leadership and long-term failure to invest in automated tools. Moderation, the Social Element's bread and butter, is one of the industries most likely to be replaced by technological solutions. Attempts to expand offering into already well serviced agency areas such as insights, strategy and content have failed to resonate with clients. Non-minority employees may feel they are passed over in favour of "diversity"

Pros

(I can only speak for the project I’m on) - Flexible hours - Quick to assist with requests for off time - Remote work - Little to no micromanaging - Can fall out for being sick as needed - Pay is about normal for entry level minimum wage jobs but the plus here is that you save on gas - You get health insurance at full time I can’t speak on how good or bad it is though.

Cons

- No PTO - Equipment not provided (I find this is 50/50 for remote jobs) - There seems to be quite a bit of competition for job postings within the company so you may or may not be sitting in one spot for some time.

Pros

Flexibility, management and HR exhibit humanity , great peers who have a genuine passion for social media and seeing our clients be successful, benefits are great, fun clients, opportunities to learn

Cons

I think this is like Amazon reviews where people who had bad experiences tend to speak up. I’m really surprised at all the negative reviews. People who don’t like being held accountable seem to go back and blame management. I will tell you the real cons. Very inconsistent or low pay increases, account managers lose clients but don’t seem to be held accountable and roles sacrificed are those of front line workers. They also tend to take credit for work done by the social team. Very little diversity in leadership (a panel of blonde females) but the greater team has a more diverse makeup. Being recently acquired is scary especially given there’s a focus on AI
