Pros
Unlimited time off, decent benefits, access to necessary tools and resources, gained some valuable industry knowledge from other employees
Cons
Employee turnover is very high, yet the president and CEO never look inward to figure out why that may be happening. Leadership and management is poor overall. No culture really exists, and if it does, it's an awful one. Management always makes sure to make you feel uncomfortable and on edge. I am still having nightmares about working there. Management also plays office politics and pits employees against each other, creating unnecessary strife in the office on a daily basis. There is very little structure to the company and things are often very chaotic and disorganized. Comments made by management in public inside the office were often unprofessional and disrespectful. Employees would bring ideas to the table, or even offer up valid complaints about the company and its culture, but nothing was ever done to make positive changes. They talked a big game and came off like phony motivational speakers, but significant changes were never made, and they also seem to not want to put any work in themselves to help the company. In addition, people often felt belittled and threatened after an exchange with the CEO or president about company matters. If all this wasn't bad enough, LSEO does not get results for their clients. It was a very unfulfilling job from the standpoint that clients were not seeing an increase in business due to our services in many cases, and in some instances our shady tactics were even hurting clients. If it wasn't for being able to learn some things from some good, knowledgeable employees who were talented at what they did, I would chalk LSEO up to being a complete waste of time. Taking a job with them has been the worst decision of my professional career, and even a terrible decision for my mental health.
