What are perks and other benefits like at Go Local Interactive?

Access to technology/software, exposure to hyper-local SEO, great coworkers, insight into other departments/finances. My direct manager was always great and pleasant.

They don't invest in current employees, they expect top-notch above and beyond work all the time. My workload was almost always around the 60 hour mark in my 40 hour work week. For product team members (SEO, Content, Paid Media), you're expected to fix issues that arise from other departments due to incorrectly sold packages, errors from web department, etc. and if you don't, you're grilled by upper management. The company tends to get ideas in their heads, fulfill product development (often without much testing), then decide that they're discontinuing that product. They dangle opportunities in front of you and tell you to wait until your year anniversary for promotions/pay raises only to find out you're keeping the same title and only getting a 4% bump in pay. They don't give you access to the proper equipment to perform your job duties. Computers are always 5+ years old and too slow to run certain necessary applications. If you enjoy working from home, know you will be judged by executives for taking your allowed 2 days/week even though some of them are fully remote. Their new business direction is very bad. Everyone's roles are being merged into the same thing with management that doesn't know how to perform all those positions' individual roles. The CEO made everyone move upstairs in the office so he could play hardball with the landlord for his new lease negotiation. The CEO constantly talks about OpenClaw, but does not give resources for team members to access it. What they do have setup is very partial and causes many more issues for product team members to fix. You accrue PTO very slowly and benefits are not good. They changed to be very expensive for those that are not single individuals. Only 2 weeks of paid leave for p/maternity (new 2026). Depressing office environment. Very cliquish. Its obvious that Sales and Tech departments are the favorites for leadership and constantly seem to not have the same rules as product team members or strategy team members. If you love nepotism, its very rewarded with this company. If you count on getting some fresh-out-of-school experience, being micromanaged by leadership, love doing busy work, ok with lower than average pay for the amount of work you do, then this is the company for you. If you count on getting cost of living raises, title promotions, good benefits, accommodations for personal situations, access to certifications/trainings, building a strong career at this company, look somewhere else.

- Great people in Product. My team gets along well and everyone is cooperative and helpful when asked. - Benefits are pretty good.

- Specialists receive much more public recognition and affirmation than Coordinators owing to the higher average monthly budgets they manage and by extension revenue they generate. It's office-wide news when Specialists help land high-dollar contract renewals. Do not expect the same recognition as a Coordinator. - Like above, expectations change constantly. Change is normal for agency life, but the odds of it getting harder rather than easier at any given time are very strong. After I started, I was told I'd be managing a max of 5 accounts as a Coordinator and eventually a max of 10 as a Specialist. This past week, I was told by the same individual that I'd be getting more on top of my current 10 as a Senior Coordinator. That is significantly above average across the entire team. - Management prioritizes supporting Specialists, leaving the comparatively inexperienced - sometimes fresh out of college - Coordinators to mostly fend for themselves. There are much more dedicated channels and extra hands to support Specialists than there are Coordinators. Inter-team meetings usually separate Coordinators and Specialists, making it difficult for Coordinators to learn from more senior staff without disrupting their work. That all said, It's not that common that I'm denied assistance when I need it, but Coordinators are hardly ever the priority and you will feel it. - Conflicting Instructions. I have been told in writing, in the very same document in two consecutive bullet points, to both be more self-sufficient in finding answers on my own and also be more proactive in asking for help from the team. - False Promises. Following the news of additional accounts from the past week, I was told my promotion would be extended another "few months" rather than moved up the timeline, marking the second delay in about a quarter.

You’ll find some cool people, and they have good benefits.

They’ll throw you under the bus the first chance they get unless you’re management. You won’t get paid NEARLY enough for the cost of living and they’re so out of touch that even if you blatantly tell them your salary isn’t going to pay the bills they’ll basically tell you that’s unfortunate.
