A great place to work, but on the lower end of the pay scale

Senior production editor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

I feel valued as a person and as a professional. I feel supported and am given opportunities to continuing learning and growing in ways that most appeal to me.

Cons

Because it is a smaller publisher, there is an internal growth ceiling that is pretty easy to hit. We have some very generous benefits, but we are also on the lower end of the pay scale for our region and size.

Sounds True Response

Thanks so much for your review! We are definitely trying to address those gaps in the pay realm, but you are correct that since we're a small business, vertical growth is harder to come by just by the nature of our company's size. But don't forget that we've got some great employee benefits that allow for reimbursement towards your personal growth!

Pros

The culture is amazing. Unlimited access to the best spiritual teachings anywhere. Great management.

Cons

It can be a bit chaotic. Everything changes. Not the place if you want the same job for years.

Sounds True Response

Thanks for the positive review and the honest feedback! We're definitely aware of some of the volatile nature of organizational structure here at Sounds True. As we're adjusting to a different work culture and remote work becomes a facet that we all are adjusting to, we hope to address those issues and offer more stability in certain areas of the company. But again, thanks for your words, it's replies like this that help institute change here at Sounds True! -Joe Grubb, HR Generalist
