The manager doesn't know how to speak with their colleagues. Insults and bad-mouthing are the day-to-day norm here

As a content writer, you won't just be limited to writing, you'll get to learn deeply about SEO among other things.
Overall, if you have a growth mindset, Houzeo can be a great place to work at.
