Pros

Fast-Growing publishing company with flexible hours. N2 offers employees a chance to be work with communities around the country, sharing special stories while also being able to improve their own professional story. Though the work is remote, the vibe is very collaborative with a big focus on work/life balance.

Cons

The compensation isn't the best, but the benefits are very good so that balances it out a bit. If you aren't built for remote work, the workload will feel overwhelming, so be sure you have the discipline to make it work!

Pros

The Area Director role offers an incredibly rewarding blend of purpose, flexibility, and growth. One of the biggest advantages is the opportunity to do meaningful, community-driven work by building real relationships with neighbors and local business owners. The role is highly entrepreneurial, allowing you to run your market like your own business while still receiving strong support, training, and guidance from leadership. There is also significant long-term earning potential as the publication grows, along with creative fulfillment through storytelling, content development, and events. The flexibility of the schedule and the ability to see the direct impact of your work within your own community make the position especially satisfying.

Cons

Like any role, there are challenges, particularly during the initial ramp-up period. The first few months require patience, self-motivation, and the willingness to wear multiple hats, from relationship-building and sales to content planning and event coordination. However, these challenges often become strengths over time, as consistency and effort lead to momentum, stability, and confidence. For individuals who enjoy connecting with others, value autonomy, and want to build something meaningful with long-term potential, the positives of the Area Director role far outweigh the challenges.
