Pros

Friendly coworkers, work load not that exhausting, good to learn about social media and trust & safety, a good name that can provide you better opportunities in the long run.

Cons

Horrible structure, general manager and supervisor barely know what they are doing and keep trying tons of different things without any warning, they claim transparency which there is none from LAQA to management in Nashville, and favoritism runs free with no shame. They use they employees in a way to test new methods that were never analyzed at first prior to be implemented.

Pros

Good Salary with great benefits such as Gym membership as well as Health insurance and daily vouchers for food, deliveroo vouchers and the list goes on.. Occasional cash bonuses from mother company ByteDance apart from the main yearly bonus! The bonus is not difficult to obtain at all, If you simply have a good work ethic & are motivated & willing to grow with Tiktok you will receive the bonus. The actual workload is doable & not difficult.. they provide good quality training and slowly ease you into your work with enough time to get accustomed to their system & work style. There's plenty of room to grow & a high chance you'll be promoted very quickly if you simply show youre motivated & you want to get promoted. The job is really global, you'll be working with teams from all around the world, you'll have meetings with them & you'll be in touch with not just your market but many markets & its really enjoyable! You have management but the eay the system is, you manage most of your things such as annual leave, overtime hours, its self management. Of course they'll be approved by a manager but I've worked at many companies and I havent seen the same trust in employees as Tiktok.

Cons

Prepare for a busy workday everyday! This isn't necessarily a con but it might be for some.. everyday is filled with your daily targets but also meetings & updates & emergency tasks will pop up so you'll need to find time for those too. It is not the job where you can just sit down and have chats at your desk for hours.. there is a lot of workload but again its doable just not for the lazy. Updates can be overwhelming as its such a fast changing environment & the policy & procedures will change faster than you might expect so be ready to accept change & be able to change with it. You need an open mindset & a modern take on things. You need to be a chameleon, follow the trends, stay on top of things. If you can master this, you'll do great at Tiktok! Having no opinion is simply not an option.. you will be asked for recommendations & how to improve policy & procedures & saying nothing is not an option.. you won't be fired but its expected from you to constantly look for ways to improve everything. Again, most of these cons aren't as bad as other cons in other companies.

Pros

Opportunity to learn quickly and decent pay.

Cons

Absolutely no work/life balance. Toxic leaders who know just enough psychology to gaslight you. You will be thrown under the bus if you are white.
