Pros

A common theme here for the pros portion is flex time...so I will continue along with that. I have a fun time working here, I get along well with my peers.

Cons

Where to begin? The benefits package is sub par. Health insurance is awful NO EYE, NO DENTAL, and the plans are not that great either. Hopefully your spouse can pick up the health insurance if you choose to work here. Like other reviewers have mentioned before me, the status here is very reactive. On multiple occasions departments have been brought into a room and asked to take things down from websites for violating standards - or bad practices. There is NO training program for any department. If you are a newbie, you'll sit for a day with a person from each dept and they will explain their job; but many will not explain how your job works together with theirs. (This is a general mindset and leads to creating SILOS in the company) If you have zero experience in SEO, hold onto your chair as you are catapulted into a role where you will have to rely on others around you to hopefully show you the ropes. It probably goes without saying that the pay is way under where the industry dictates it should be.

Pros

Less micromanaged than other phone jobs.

Cons

I was sexually harassed and harassed in various other ways while employed at this agency for 3 years and 4 months. There was derogatory name calling on a daily basis. There was computer bullying - they would delete my leads from the computer constantly over a 2 year period, making it literally impossible to meet sales goals & quotas. Towards the end of my career here, when they would actually send me a Live telephone lead to attempt to close and bring on as a client, it would be an 80 year old business owner on their way to retirement and about to close their business - 0% chance close rate on the garbage leads that they were giving me. Meanwhile, all of the good leads that actually would convert, were all given to their favorite Account Managers that have worked there for 10-20 years. There is no room for advancement in sales, you're just in the trenches all day, everyday. Do yourself a favor - don't apply. They will purposely go out of their way to make your life miserable. They did it to me for about 3 and a half years. By far, the worst and most stressful job I have ever had in my 40 years living. Don't apply unless you want to be miserable.
