Very Unstable Job - Editor Narcity Media Group Employee Review

Pros

Remote, easy to use their platforms Great for young adults just out of college/new to the field since they pay pretty low for the amount of work you do.

Cons

Very low pay. They want more work than employees can give and will lay you off for any reason they deem necessary. Saw over 15 lay-offs & quits within 2 months from just the small USA team. Very uncommunicative and demanding, with new rule changes every week from their unorganized & unhelpful small management team. Not transparent, read from scripts to all their employees, gave no clarity on what's going on in the company. This led to people getting demoted or fired immediately with no warning or advance notice, and no reason why. Do not care about individual happiness, growth, concerns, or ideas. Every editor on my team suffered from not feeling heard or appreciated for their work. Almost every one has been laid off or quit since. Avoid working here if you want to grow in a position and experience a positive work space.

Pros

You can quickly move up the ladder, managers take good care of their employees, there's not a rigid hierarchy, morale is amazing!

Cons

Things change quickly — but that's true of any media company. You have to stay on your toes! They do a good job of training us for new challenges.

Pros

Constant communication platform which is beneficial to a remote job. Writers who genuinely love to write the content they are researching. The Canada team is fairly on top of it compared to the US team. Great writing gig for someone fresh out of college. Not for you if you’re established.

Cons

The rules on what you can and cannot do are constantly changing, therefore leading to many instances where you do something wrong. Writers are usually lost because they hear about the changes last. The content they want and the content you end up writing doesn’t leave you fulfilled. Voices and opinions of the editors and writers aren’t heard by the upper management team. You will most likely be let go at a short notice, therefore leaving you very unemployed quick. There were very few people who gave positive or inspiring feedback. The ones that did aren't working for Narcity anymore. There is definitely a popularity contest here when trying to move up. The quality and time you put into your work apparently isn't enough. It’s low pay for the amount of time you end up investing in the company. They don’t cultivate a workplace environment of diversity and inclusion.
