Job Description
Could you sell hair care products to Patrick Stewart
Do you yearn to express yourself through the medium of silly internet videos
Do you thrive in a highstress environment filled with political infighting bureaucracy and corporate nonsense
If so then we are the place for you except you might hate how nice of a company we have filled with happy generally competent people that dont put up with jerks. Frankly it makes me sick how nice everyone is.
We are remote full time have very flexible hours people are judged by their output not by how much they suck up to the boss and turnover is super low because the company believes that happy employees happy customers happy bank account. Simply disgusting if you ask me.
Is this a real job ad
Yup! Amazingly enough we actually paid money to post this on a bunch of different job sites. And its not even a pyramid scheme! Plus get this: the owner just started paying our 70ish employees with money instead of Pizza Hut coupons were big time people.
Our careers page is actually worth checking out to learn more about how insane we are (sidenote: it won a web design award in 1993 were a pretty big deal):
check out our reviews on Google Glassdoor or Indeed to see that its not just the founders mother who says were cool.
What do you guys do
We do a lot of different things these days including selling awesome consumer products (these are just a small sampling):
Bad Parking Cards Beverage Barricades Child Chucker this Amazon PayPerClick agency: (were really really good at PPC)
And we will soon be launching a SaaS product for inventory management.
We are doing our best to grow rapidly every year and its our intention to continue that for as long as possible which means we need good people to help us keep up with the growth.
What is your company like
1. You Can Be Yourself. You dont have to put on a fake professional face. You can just be yourself. You can talk smack to the CEO (highly encouraged) and no one will think anything of it. You dont have to dress up or use formal language or pretend to be something youre not you can just be you.
2. Major Opportunities for Career Growth. We are not trying to just be a small business. We plan to be doing $100 million annually in the next few years. We promote quickly once we identify talent. It doesnt matter what your credentials are it matters what you get done.
3. Full Time Remote/Flexible Hours. You will be working from home in your pajamas on your schedule. And we dont care if you work 10 hour days 4 days a week or 6 hours a day and catch up over the weekend. So long as you get a lot of work done were happy campers.
4. Complete Work/Life Balance. If youre routinely working more than 45ish hours youre gonna get a friendly talkingto. We want you to be operating at 100 capacity which means that you need to rest.
5. Strongly AntiBS. Anybody in the company can (and is expected to) tell the CEO when he is wrong. There are no bureaucratic or BS rules getting in the way of getting work done.
6. No MicroManagement. Once youre trained and have demonstrated you know your stuff we are pretty handsoff. In fact if you need external management to stay ontask and motivated we probably arent the place for you.
7. No Toxic/Incompetent People Allowed. We try very hard to screen out mean or stupid people before they get in but in case they slip through we fire them quickly. You will never have to interact with someone who is an obvious or straight up malicious. No toxic or incompetent people at work could it really be Yes
8. Supportive Environment. We dont operate via intense stress or unreasonable topdown deadlines. Everyone wants you to be successful internal politics are at a minimum here.
9. Lots of Raises. We do our absolute best to get ahead of things and give raises preemptively so you dont have to ask for one. Its not unusual at all for someone to receive 2 raises per year.
10. Well Invest in Your Training. We want you and everyone to get better constantly. Youll be learning new things all the time and are strongly encouraged to invest time every day to learn new things improve your system/work process and just generally try to make your life easier.
11. 46 Weeks Vacation. We 100 want you to recharge so having plenty of time off is absolutely worth it.
12. Paid Maternity/Paternity Leave. Weve even started letting people skip meetings during labor!
13. SelfFunded So We Can Do Whats Right for Us. We dont have to answer to anyone but ourselves so we can make the right decision for the longterm health of the company vs trying to get big too fast or cut corners to appease some selfish investor.
What are your companys values
OK so Ive read like 8 dang pages about you guys. Will you tell me what the actual job is
No.
Wait... What
OK fine. Super short version:
Making social media video content for our products brands and services with the aim of building an audience who loves our stuff.
Our current channels:
Witty Yeti: PPC Farm: is a bulleted list of responsibilities:
Follow social media trends
Ideate like crazy
Script/plan your video
Film and edit your videos
Engage with the audience
Iterate and get better
Work with others to give and receive feedback to improve creatively
Like everyone else in the company you will also need to innovate regularly which means figuring out ways to improve quality and production speed.
It is challenging but fun work thats going to require a lot of time and task management problemsolving and a reasonable amount of people skills.
Do I need experience
We expect you to have a minimum of 70 years of experience 120 preferred).
Oh you havent lived two lifetimes eating and breathing business 24/7/365 Who TF do you think you are reading this job description You absolute buffoon.
Oh you havent been directly involved in at least two (preferably three) World Wars Youre not even qualified to operate our coffee machine you sentient potato.
Oh you didnt observe the Big Bang as it happened Get out of here you pirated copy of Windows 95.
I might literally throw up from your insolence. The hubris to think that you you absolute fool could apply to be a content creator absolutely sickening.
Also no you dont need any experience per se. Well be evaluating you on your current abilities and obviously experience can help you there but your work will stand on its own.
The Big Bang requirement still stands though.
Do I need a college degree
You just need to be awesome.
Are there any geographic restrictions
As long as you are in a country that doesnt have active sanctions from the US government we are interested. Our founder isnt known for respecting the government much but they have all the guns so
Having said that there is a bit of constraint on your accent. We are selling to an American audience and its likely that they are not gonna vibe with you if your accent is really strong (for better or worse Im sorry).
Is it long or short form
Probably both with a bias towards short form. Its still very early days and well have to see how it goes and what you most excel at but in general I suspect it will be more short form.
Is part time full time or contract
Given the nature of this role we can be more flexible and can potentially do a contractor/parttime deal with you especially if you are keeping up with your own channel.
We are aiming for full time creator but were definitely flexible.
What type of products will I be pitching
My current thinking is that you should be a generalist content creator which means you can find a creative way to make videos about just about anything.
Well definitely want to play to your strengths and we will absolutely help you as much as possible with educating/training you on our catalog and such though. It will likely be our fun kitchen products like the Beverage Barricades. Were also launching a crocodileshaped hot dog cutter called the CrocoDicer soon.
Then there are our gag gifts: we have our B2B departments which consists of PPC Farm an Amazon advertising agency and Omniscio a software product (not yet launched) for Amazon sellers.
For the business stuff well see how it goes. If you can help make content to promote those that would be ideal but again well definitely help you figure out what to make there.
I have my own channel. Do you expect me to post to that
We are mostly interested in growing our own following so it would probably make the most sense to post to our (very very small) accounts. Nothing is in stone though except that we will never want to take advantage of you and your following unless you thought that would be mutually beneficial.
Who else is on the team
This is a VERY new effort for us. We previously have had basically no social media presence until recently. There are 2.5ish people working fullish time in content creation. Everyone is really nice but its definitely a startuplike environment as we build this department and feel our way through.
What type of production volume do you expect
Its still too early for us to know what a proper production rate is but in general we expect everyone to have a lot of output equal to 40 hours of legit work.
It will depend on the quality and difficulty of for your videos so it could be 1 per week or it could be 20. Well play it by ear but I promise were reasonable.
I am shy and dont want to be on camera
This sounds pretty good though Im still skeptical that this isnt a pyramid scheme.
You sound just like the tax authorities!
That doesnt resolve any of my fears but what do I need to do to apply
Please submit your information on the following page to apply:
promise to respond within 510 business days even if our answer is No.
There will be multiple steps in this process FYI including a long written application interviews with potentially a few different people and paid work test(s). Hiring the right people is really hard and very expensive if we do it poorly so we have to frontload the process. Im sorry about that and thank you for sticking with us.
Once youre in our pipeline though I would anticipate giving you a final answer within a few weeks depending on how it goes. We definitely dont want to string you along and as long as you do what we ask we promise to tell you yes or no and to not just ghost you (like everybody I match with on Tinder).
Thank you for your time and interest and I hope we can work together soon!
