Amazing work from home situation - Newsbrief Editor The ABIS Group Employee Review

- Friendly community - Great work-life balance - Flexible schedule/can work remotely when needed

- Depending on which team you're in, hours might differ (News team typically has an earlier schedule)

The biggest perk of working at ABIS is being able to work from home, but you typically can't do this full time until you've been there for a year or two. While you have to start at around 6 a.m., which was brutal for me, the flip side is that you are usually done by about 1 or 2 p.m. The CEO expects high performance, but he is genuinely a good guy who cares about his employees and is willing to work with them and help them out when needed. You also get to work with like-minded young people.

The worst thing about the job is the amount of mindless content you are expected to churn out every morning from about 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. Things usually slow down after 11, but that 5-hour window leaves you feeling like you put your brain through a wringer. And there is virtually no creativity involved, you are just speed-reading then speed-regurgitating what you read for 5 hours straight. The schedule is weird with the early start time, and while it's nice to be done at 2 p.m., it really makes for a weird work-life balance because your day is so early-shifted. Another con is that there is very little upward mobility. The company has a very horizontal structure, so there isn't much hope for reaching some sort of management level.
