Pros

Working at Compose.ly has been a wonderful experience for me. The in-house team is supportive, fun, and so hard-working. It's a great remote work environment where I've always felt free to voice questions or concerns. Management is very involved and open to feedback. One of my favorite things about working at Compose.ly is the flexibility. I can go to the dentist, pick up my groceries mid-day, work from anywhere, etc. so long as I'm getting my work done, making up the time, and communicating with the team as needed. This was really important to me with a remote job and Compose.ly does it right. For freelancers, working with Compose.ly is a great option. The pay is reliable, the support team is always there to help, and the app is constantly being improved based on user feedback. Many of the freelance writers and editors have been with Compose.ly for years, which is impressive in a field that's always changing.

Cons

On the in-house side, it's a busy job. There's always something to be working on, but managers are supportive and helpful if you're ever feeling overwhelmed. As with any startup-type environment, things change quickly so you need to be flexible and adapt as needed, especially as the company continues to grow pretty quickly. For freelancers, sometimes there's a lot of available work and sometimes it's a little slower. Of course, this is true of most freelance work, but you should be careful of relying solely on Compose.ly.

Pros

I've gotten two monthly gigs through Compose.ly, both on retainer. My Compose.ly managers are professional and attentive. They notice timecard problems and bring them to my attention. They check in occasionally to see how things are going but otherwise leave the work arrangements and assignments between me and the clients. Payment is always on time.

Cons

I can't think of any cons.

Pros

Excellent clients with long-term relationships here. The in-house team, aside from leadership, is full of experts and creative people who are just fun to work with.

Cons

The leadership team is going to drive this company into the ground. No one on that team has any agency experience, and promotes their favorites who say yes to everything and agree they're always right. They've laid off 6 people in the last year as a "restructure" and then later told people it was a performance-based firing (including a pregnant, disabled, black employee). A new CEO was just named, a marketer who has no business experience, or really any experience in the services being sold by this agency. Anyone who disagrees with the CEO will inevitably be fired in the coming months.
