Pros
Let me preface by saying I was an employee from way back in the day, so other reviews would tell more about the current state of things... and I'll try to stay high level with my review. My summary is that Page 1 is quite simply an SEO sweatshop: pile an obscene amount of work onto people who are inexperienced or just don't know any better, pay them the absolute minimum, and bend them till they break. Rinse, repeat. They work in small, localized markets so that they don't have to innovate much, and to decrease competition... everyone can hit a homerun in a little league park. Their clients are often aggressive and egotistical because they actively pursue those types and sell them on being the best (in Topeka). All in all it's a pretty exploitative business model that has been carefully set up to appear otherwise. There is one and only one pro about working here. It's a foot in the door if you are just getting started and have little/no experience. Page 1 will gladly hire you and lowball even an entry-level salary. That's the exchange: experience and education for cheap labor. So get in, get what you need and get on to a real job in the industry. I have since gone on to an exciting and successful career in digital marketing, so for that I owe Page 1 my thanks. I probably could have started this path elsewhere, but Page 1 was certainly a lot easier to get into as a newbie and the industry is only getting more saturated and competitive. If you've tried to break into SEO elsewhere and have been shut down then give these guys a look. Everyone else beware.
Cons
Regarding the experience and education... I found that P1S only wanted you to know a little bit more than the no-nothing clients they serve. Take it upon yourself to do some self-directed learning while you're there: read blogs, ask lots of questions, and devote as much time as you can to clients who get it so that you can actually put some points on the board. Regarding management... there are many more recent and thorough reviews of the management structure and their philosophies. What I will say is that this business model exists to support their own livelihood. The "parts in the machine" i.e. frontline employees, are clearly replaceable and that vibe was clear from management. Regarding the pay... my starting "salary" was little more than a modest hourly rate that was multiplied out to a yearly scale. I could hardly support myself on that amount, living a pretty modest lifestyle. Make no mistake that you'll surely be underpaid regardless of your expertise.
