Ebbs and flows but OwnLocal is heading toward high tide again
Pros
If you’re motivated and capable, it’s possible to significantly level up at OwnLocal. I started with the company in an entry-level position and now serve in a role that directly impacts company strategy. Amazing co-workers that will challenge and support you. You are never the smartest person in the room. After years of focusing on uninspired (though lucrative) products, the company is finally using its talent to innovate. New products are exciting to work on. Compensation and benefits are competitive within the market. This wasn’t always the case but leadership took action to rectify this over the past year. OwnLocal gets four stars for now, but its been five stars before and will be again if current trends hold true.
Cons
Company culture has struggled after a difficult year. Though efforts are underway to rebuild, this is an organic process and takes time. Structured training, feedback, and ongoing education won’t be offered. You have to ask for these things when you need them.
