...n training its staff based on requirements, which leads to below-average output. Disgruntled employees, as a result of poor compensation, and an unprofessional management, which does not trust its staff and refuses to delegate work effectively, add to the sorry state of affairs. Man-management skills are sorely lacking and those in charge only believe in processes that track quantitative output and not qualitative offering. As a result staff spend very little time on improving quality and always feel being targeted and asked to pay the price for incoherent top-down policies. Despite working there, I would not depend on SK, on my life, for sports news. What they dish out, I'm sorry to say, is speculative at best and sloppy at worst.

Most unprofessional place I've worked out in 10 years of content writing with dozens of sports outlets. You must be on call all day waiting for assignments. Sometimes you'll get them back to back. Other times they'll ghost you for five hours and expect you to do all your work in final three hours or be on clock extra long Content managers assign topic and give you their tips. You'll do that and get the editor telling you that was wrong and to do the opposite of what content manager told you. One of the managers called the entire writing staff lazy and claimed he saw people work harder in tropical storm conditions. They expect you to be happy for a job and deal with disrespect or mismanagement. I was also "suspended" for my article being too similar to another on another outlet. Keep in mind - you write via keywords they give you and other sites do that too. So if you do what they tell you, they'll still punish you. Basically you must be extremely desperate for money or working here will be a headache.

A wide variety of topics to cover. A good place to learn the ins-and-outs of SEO article writing and gain some insights into entertainment reporting.

Dislikes

It's up to you to enforce work-life boundaries. There is no paid time off. Contracts can be exploitative, trying to extract more labor for less pay.
