      I have been working at ReachLocal full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      At REACHLOCAL we don't just focus on the service part of Digital Marketing. I love that we have the resources to also focus on the Technology side of things. That in my opinion is what really sets us apart. Great suite of products to sell. I have always liked the direction the company was going under the CEO Sharon Rowland's vision for our company. She has really turned the company around in the past 4 years. Now that we are a part of the Gannett Family we are continuing to grow. Great Benefits help a lot too!

      Cons

      Bonuses are not nearly as attainable as they once were. Seems the only way to hit them is to sign clients on 12 month agreements, which is getting harder and harder since so many SMB's have been burned in the past.

      Advice to Management

      Could use a few more bodies in our support center. Response time can be too long at times.

      I have been working at ReachLocal full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Great PTO, Good job security, good benefits, regularly have fun activities around the office, decent employee culture, enjoyable work but can get into a routine/rut pretty easily.

      Cons

      Major inconsistencies between directors and managers, (seems like a lack of understanding that we are SALARIED and not hourly), plus a very large lack of flexibility and activities when it comes to illness and holidays.

      Advice to Management

      Quit treating salaried employees like hourly workers. Update policies related to holidays, sick days, and the ability to work from home - this isn't the 90s.

      Great place to gain experience and learn. They are great at figuring out what you want to do and driving you towards that direction.

      Cons

      Currently merging with a larger company, Gannett, so can often move very slowly. Not always a fast paced environment.

      Constantly changing.

      re org after going public was detrimental to the loss of many employees and salary changes. Seems to be on the "uptick" however, since being purchased by Gannett
