In need of change... - Recensione dipendente - Account Executive presso Locallife

A seemingly progressive online company. Building has up-to-date decor and seems like a nice place to work.

Policies an Procedures Who knows the polocies and procedures of Locallife. It's as if Locallife opened a nice building to support a huge website directory with no plan to manage sales or employees. Management consistantly makes promises they never follow through with. If you ask 3 different people the same question you will receive 3 conflicting answers. Training Training was inconsistant and unclear. Management would often give misinformation that you would share with potential customers, only to find out you had lied to the customer and would not be able to follow through with the promises you had made. Work Enviornment Sales Executives were treated like an annoyance that would not go away. When Sales Executives would make suggestions for improvements they would be told to quit whining and just do their jobs. Bad language and yelling was a regular occurence. Management would often make negative remarks about other Sales Executives and roll their eyes or looked disgusted in meetings and trainings. Gossip is a huge issue at Locallife, with middle management being the main source of the problem. Turn Over The amount of Sales Executive turn over is huge. In my short time with Locallife I saw 12 Sales Executives come and go.

Start up environment, lots of opportunity for creativity and innovation. Company is responsive to employees' ideas for change.

High turnover makes it hard to develop strong professional relationships.
