Pros

I learned more about internet marketing in the two years I worked here, than in any of the prior years combined. This company is extremely talented in recruiting and internally promoting leadership that is not only knowledgeable, but cares very much for the overall success of the team and company, but even more so each individual that makes the team whole. They BLEED ORANGE (all of us who love RL do), and they can't hide their passion for the solutions we carry, training their team members and helping SMB's reach their goal of increasing their customer base and overall revenue. ReachLocal is not just a company, it's a world wide culture that welcomes you like a long lost brother or sister that really wants you to thrive in this life. I didn't realize how mentally drilled and abused I was working for other companies. I had been yelled at, cursed at by management, and even had to sign a document stating I wasn't hurt and wouldn't sue the company for having an entire phone system thrown at my head by an extremely overpressured sales rep. I was only taught to fend for myself like a dog who had been raised by dog fighters. Then ReachLocal hired me, and I realized how working for a company that really cares, is supposed to be. You can come into work and enjoy being around your coworkers because they want you to be successful just as much as they do. You can ask your manager anything, professional and personal, and they will mentor and guide you as if your problems and questions were your own. If you have a hunger, positive attitude, willingness to listen and follow the process, and most importantly... genuinely put the client first - you can go far financially with this company. One month I netted over $10K with the help of my manager, and many or my months were about half of this (which wasn't bad for a 24 year old with no prior industry experience). Many of my peers made much more, I simply needed the experience. With the help if my managers, I never fell behind the top tiered group. It was sad to see when people left, but you had to really work to see results. RL didn't cookie cut their solutions and always put the customer first... Sometimes our solution didn't fit the business model of the client we were meeting with, so we shook hands and asked for a referral. We wouldn't take money from the hands of clients, leaving only empty promises to come back and bite us in our rear... I saw many people leave because of the frustration of turning down business that simply would not help the business owners enough to justify the cost of quality in our solutions. We were not cheap, but just like gas stations and retail... We did not set the prices of advertising - competition does!! If you want to win an auction.. You have to bid what your competitors bid, or you're just throwing out money!! If you can't tell how genuine and passionate I am about this company, then you must have stopped reading long before I started this mini novel! Conclusion, love for this company + the company's love for the employees and clients = recipe for success!!!!

I've worked with ReachLocal for 7+ years and I can honestly say that right now has been my absolute favorite time here! So much training on how to better serve our clients to ensure they are not only getting great results but a great client experience. ReachLocal is so innovative and always thinking ahead. Everyone that I am around are extremely talented and so much fun to be around. It is because of the people I work with and for on a day to day basis that I love coming to work and want to put 110% into what I do every day!

Advice to Management

RL Marketing needs to be better then what they provide customers. Corp marketing needs to set the example

Advice to Management

Was given during exit interviews.

Pros

I was incredibly lucky to work at ReachLocal as my first job out of college. Everyone at ReachLocal is dedicated to the success of the organization which can be seen in the collaborative environment and the satisfaction among employees. ReachLocal's founders were heavily focused on ensuring employee satisfaction and with transition of the reigns to Sharon Rowland the focus on employee satisfaction continued. ReachLocal's training for services team members is second to none and leaders put heavy emphasis on continuing to support staff development. Through the years, I was given so many different opportunities allowing me to develop skills in not only digital marketing, but operations, project management and training. Working for other media companies, I don't think I would have received these opportunities which made ReachLocal such a lovely place to start my career. Beyond skill growth, I was lucky enough to travel to many countries to support ReachLocal's various projects allowing me to experience how other cultures operate and motivate employees. Everyone at ReachLocal works really hard. Sometimes I worked long hours, but the long hours I put in were appreciated and I was rewarded for my dedication accordingly. I'm forever grateful for the opportunities that were given to me at ReachLocal and thoroughly enjoyed my many years with the company.

Advice to Management

Continue to support your employees as you do now and make sure to reward them monetarily for their hard work.
