Pros

None, not even going to waste my time lying in this box - the bad reviews are all telling the truth.

Cons

Where to begin? Culture. Micromanagement at the CEO all the way down to his direct reports. The company is completely toxic, if you are recruited in, my best advice is RUN. The CEO will fire anyone who doesn't follow his beliefs and his people leader does not think for himself so do not bother complaining to him about toxicity in the workplace - he does not care.

Pros

If you are good, the earning potential is significant The company will be successful

Cons

Do not let them "sell you the dream" The culture here is miserable and most of the opportunity for new business sales has dried up No Work-life balance and you will be publicly shamed for attempting to take time-off Management has no transparency and has a habit of intentionally deceiving and hiding information from employees

Pros

I was there 2015 - 2018 and was able to move from a Support Agent -> Customer Onboarding Manager -> Customer Success Manager -> Strategic Account Manager. Super hard working peers. Some decent middle-managers sprinkled through the org who really cared. First job out of college, I hustled, got lucky had the best manager I've ever had in my career, and developed the right relationships with certain Executives. Learned a ton and finessed my way into sales without ever making a cold call. If you're into Wolf of Wall Street type sales gigs, you've found your home.

Cons

However, from top-down, the company could care less about its employees, and even less about its clients' success. Sales model is burn and churn - trick unsuspecting SMBs into thinking buying BrightEdge will result in a meteoric revenue growth via organic search. Client attrition was about the same as capital gains tax sub-1 year. Nothing cutting edge about the product - it's marketed as a 1 stop shop for all SEO needs, but you can really do everything it does with freemium point tools. This is not a startup by ANY means. It's a company that fiscally thrives via an acquire customers at all costs model, then does little to nothing to support them, and then blames it on employees.
