Cons
The company has been struggling to grow. They moved into a huge office with the hopes of filling it up, but only use one side (that still has a lot of seats available). Owner(s) have spent tens of thousands of dollars on different management programs (Gazzell and Entrepreneurial Operating System) to boost growth with lackluster results. They've also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on trying to build custom software only to have it be buggy or be more work than it's worth. While I was there, there was only one sale's person but has since left, leaving the company having to build a new sales team from the ground up. If you know SEO, the sales process is usually a lengthy one. The company is stacked with upper management and execs, some of which know nothing about SEO. They've tried bringing in new execs and directors only to fire them when they've tried shaking things up. Lack of new clients coming in and current clients canceling are taking a hit on the bottom line. Owner(s) spend most of their time in their offices dreaming big but never delivering. The lack of leadership has caused them to hire an outside president to try and fix things. It's their new hope. The company has some talented staff, but they are not in the right seat. SEO has had high turnover with 2.5 years being the longest that someone has been on the team. Insurance is expensive, no 401K or profit sharing.
