Pros

Snacks...Hard to think of anything else.

Cons

If you enjoy passive aggressive leadership styles, HORRIBLE communication, a toxic work environment, and being highly over worked and under paid then this is the place for you! Do not be fooled by the company outings, and free food - this place is horrible. Jim Flint does NOT take the time to invest in his employees, unless you call a bogus "mandatory" online "training course" investing in employees. He does not listen to the needs of his employees. Local Search Group is horrible down to it's very core. If you plan to be on the 'internal' team then just stay away. There seems to be a lack of trust for the 'internal employees', everything is a priority, and there is a high amount of unnecessary drama. One of the core values of the company is 'Communication' , however LSG is seriously lacks communication in all aspects. This company claims to be a 'modern marketing agency' but the CEO / President does not believe in inbound marketing, nor does the company market themselves - for example, there are typos on the website.... They are not forward thinking and fail to make any positive changes for their employees. Turn over is high for a reason. If you have very low expectations for your first job or internship, Local Search Group is the place for you.

Local Search Group Response

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that your experience at Local Search Group didn't turn out to be a good fit. I am also sorry that you feel that there was a lack of communication. As you know, communication is one of our 6 C's, and is a two-way street; it's just as important for our employees to communicate with us as it is for us to communicate with our employees. Jim recently conducted one-on-one meetings with each employee to gain insight on their opinions on the company and improvements we can make. He is taking advice from these meetings very seriously and utilizing the suggestions made moving forward to make improvements. Many of the suggestions included that our website needs an update, like you also mentioned, and we are currently in the process of doing just that.

Pros

I've worked for Local Search Group in a variety of capacities over the past 12 years. Throughout this time, I have always been presented with opportunities for growth, chances to expand my skill set and flexibility to adjust as my current season of life may have changed.

Cons

Not a con in my opinion, but it could be for some - you do have to be self led and self managed. There is no babysitting or micromanaging taking place. Do your job and do it well and everything else falls into place.
