Lovely people and flexibility, but role feels mindless
Pros
The people are lovely, there is flexibility with hybrid working model, and decent benefits.
Cons
-The Journal Specialist role is soul-less. Manual tasks all day and your job is basically to update salesforce 8 hours a day. -I am immensely overqualified for this role and feel like I will never use my brain or actual leadership skills because it's just a CRM pipeline job and even all the emails and communications have pre-set templates. -I've led teams before and had actual impact in my past jobs, I don't see how my skills can be leveraged in this role given there is no autonomy or true innovation. You just follow workflows and SOPs and there is no chance for personal input on anything. -Most boring job I've ever had - get zero meaning whatsoever and there is no intention behind the campaigns or author outreach, it's all mass automation. -This company does not value actual intellect or critical thinking, they just care about pipelines and numbers. It's all about the money and there is no depth here. -I could have great ideas for research topics and spend time actually finding quality editors or contributors, but the company doesn't care. They just want you to meet metrics at the cost of true article and author quality.
