Pros

ZeeBlu has built an incredible team of hard working, creative individuals all working towards a much needed goal of supporting local businesses. The sales people, creatives, and managers are incredible people to work with.

Cons

Very sub par benefits (very little vacation pay, no medical, and extremely inflexible about working from home). The company also has an extreme lack of organization and the upper management is simply unwilling to hear alternative views and solutions to problems. It is great to work for a company that dreams big and sets lofty growth goals, but the empty promises of growth will soon lose their luster when you start seeing just how many projects and customer relationships we lose. They are also extremely unappreciative of you putting in extra time (including 60+ hour weeks w/ no overtime) and basically thank you with a simple "Thanks for doing your job."

ZeeBlu always appreciates constructive feedback, especially from current employees. As a very small team, we try our best to operate with transparency and maintain an atmosphere of openness. It is our goal to create an environment in which current employees feel comfortable bringing concerns of this nature to their team or appropriate manager. While anonymous reviews certainly have their place, they also inhibit our ability to directly address any concerns, or even verify the employment status or history of the reviewer. If anyone is interested in learning more about the company, please feel free to reach out to any of the current employees, we'd be more than happy to share with you our experience working at ZeeBlu.

Pros

Starting off, the training program was one of the most comprehensive training I have ever been through--the skills I have learned just in the training have made working at Zeeblu invaluable. I have learned and/or improved my skills in everything from general sales skills, to soft skills, to technical marketing, and objection handling. Another Pro is that as a marketing consultant, you have the ability to create your own income, dependent on your work ethic. Aside from the compensation we have a great team of optimistic problem solvers who mesh well together.

Cons

Just speaking for the role of a marketing consultant, this isn't a role for someone who isn't willing to learn and work hard. I think While I think the training you will receive will sharpen anyone's overall sales skills, as a marketing consultant if you are not a self-starter this isn't the position for you.

Pros

This is the first place I've ever worked where everyone takes responsibility for their own actions. No blaming, no shaming. Also, they really live their values. One being "Take 100% responsibility." Another one is "Own your confidence." "Be fearless. Be humble." Great stuff, especially when you see people actually doing it--which we do.

Cons

Way too much to do! I like my job, but everyday I leave so much undone. It's my choice, not working later and earlier. These are the boundaries I gave myself: 8-5 M-F. And I always have so much more to do. But even if I worked 80 hour weeks, I still wouldn't get all the things done I see that need doing.
