Pros

Can work from home, schedule can be flexible. Culture in each team is good.

Cons

Don't expect to grow a career in operations. The starting pay isn't competitive, I'd say similar to retail. PTO is also not good. Basically no chances to move up to a better role. There's no one person in charge of training, so the training and materials are inconsistent. You also don't learn about seo itself but how to do tasks, so you have know idea why you're doing most of what you're doing. They claim to care about culture which just means they send out a survey that does nothing to actually address culture issues. Honestly just massive communication issues throughout the company. Really there's just a huge disconnect between upper management and operations. They say we help make changes and stuff, but they usually get their way or introduce policies without talking to the company first. Sometimes they seem more worried about quoting tribal leadership than actually helping anyone and office politics get in the way of improving the company. I like my coworkers but unfortunately can't recommend working here.

Pros

- Amazing team - Lots of support available - the job isn’t hard once you learn what you’re doing - Great culture - remote!!!!!! - Async work is awesome Not to take away from anyone else’s negative experience but a lot of the complaints I’m seeing on here are overblown. The workload isn’t nothing, you will have work to do everyday, but it’s not like you have a grueling day every day and you can’t take a break. Once you learn what you’re doing, your workload won’t feel like anything out of the ordinary. Now the pay certainly could be better, there are opportunities to bring home some extra money, but just in general we need a raise. Several internal managerial positions have opened up in the last year or so, so advancement is there

Cons

We really need a raise! It seems like our base wage is not keeping up with the country. I’d say we’re on the lower end for jobs that require a degree

Pros

Freedom to try way to do things. Some of the teams within Semify are strong.

Cons

Lack of accountability, quick to blame everyone else, hiring unqualified people to do high level jobs. Management will make descisions and then change on a whim if you are friends and can get them one on one. Management is often interested in trying to act friendly and social. More so than doing what is best for the business. For this reason they will never be as successful as they hope. Every acquisition has lacked to bring in close to the value promise. They promote company values from a core rule book, but only implement the parts they like and find easy, diluting the efficiency and making things worse.
