They pay on time and will be honest about pay scale.

Dislikes

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.

1. Very greedy and toxic management. They give unrealistic monthly targets and pay extremely less per article 2. Some managers threaten your career if you don't meet their expected targets 3. They manipulate SEO to get more reads 4. They expect us to deliver more articles on weekends. Hence, lack of proper work-life balance

They have flexible hours and you can write as much or as little as you want. The managers are more than understanding and leaves are approved pretty easily.

Dislikes

The pay is stagnant and hasn’t increased in over 2 years. There is very little option of upward mobility if any and there is no chance of making this a stable job.

1) As a social media person, I learnt quite a few things which I didn't know. 2) You'll learn playing with excel and numbers. 3) Peer to Peer learning exists, especially from upper management (but totally depends on how your manager is) Some managers are good, some are really really bad. PS: Hiring at SK is really bad at management level.

Dislikes

1) Salary will remain the same if you're on contract in the social media team. 2) You'll NEVER become permanent unless you have a team working under you. 3) There's no security at job. If a page closes because of low performance and your manager's mistakes, you can be fired. 4) Favouritism at its peak. Affiliate marketers and content writers will come and give you gyaan. 5) There are NO HOLIDAYS. Yes, no Independence Day, no weekends, no Diwali, no Holi. It's a 365 day working position. 6) If you're the social media executive, you're also the copywriter and the graphic designer. 7) If work demands, you'll be called at 11 in the night for a task. Days are really tiring and can extend upto 15-18 hours of work days. Personally, I've at least been awake till 3-4AMs for 30-40 days of my entire stint.
