      The role this former employee held is not for everyone. We hire straight out of college for nearly 100 % of our EBR's and are very transparent on the work load and expectations for each EBR. It is up to each person to apply what is taught and have the desire to learn and put in the time and work to succeed. We can teach skills but can't teach drive, motivation nor work ethic. We do have a very extensive training program for our EBR's and hire each EBR with the expectation that will succeed and ultimately earn a promotion to Account Executive. We even developed a promotion track program with monthly and weekly coaching sessions to prepare and develop EBR into sales reps. Not many companies our size put the time and investment in training as much as we do here at BrightEdge. It is disappointing that this person was not successful here, but when you hire straight out of college with little to no sales experience, you will have attrition, as not everyone will succeed. We can only continue to support those successful employees and learn from those who did not make it through the program.

      Lots of promises, little action

      Pros

      Depending on the team you end up with, you will meet some incredibly smart, talented, and genuinely friendly individuals. Your skillset will grow, as there is a lot of work to be done and you'll have to learn a lot on the job. Don't worry about your SEO skillset before joining BrightEdge--every new hire must go through a phenomenally in-depth training program.

      Cons

      The work to be done doesn't have enough hands to do it. The company is all about pushing out massive numbers, and it doesn't really seem to matter how they get there. Most employees do not spend more than 1 to 2 years here. That lack of loyalty and high turnover is alarming. (Yes, they are growing in net, as noted by the company in a review response below, but that's only because hiring is extremely rapid to make up for the large outflux). Do not believe the hype that you are given in the interview--this is not a startup. It wants to appear that it still has a start up vibe, but the culture is very corporate, and only getting more so. A variety of promises will be made during the interview about the opportunities for advancement, but clear goals and expectations are rarely set. If you are not a favorite employee of management or work on a team that is most important to generating new revenue, you will find that your growth opportunities in the company (and your value to the company) will be severely limited. For the long hours (60+ hour weeks are not out of the ordinary), compensation is mediocre at best, although medical benefits are generally pretty strong.

      Pros

      great compensation for entry level job. they know that EBR life is hard, and they compensate accordingly (trips to vegas, hawaii, cash spiffs, etc) and we have an office dog in san mateo!

      Cons

      lack of transparency with management but if you can accept that it's a startup and things move quickly, it's not so bad
