ReachLocal Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Corporate feel. Management changed quickly during the pandemic and the training and relationship did not necessarily transfer to the new manager (he was also out of state). I was a month into building a book of business when the pandemic hit and then was almost immediately put on a plan to "increase performance" although the landscape of the marketing world had changed completely. It was not a correct justification other than they wanted more sales. This was not a typical time and businesses all over were shut down or doing less than usual with fewer employees. It stifled even the best salesmen at the company unless they had well-established relationships across the country. Not a bad company but was not afforded a typical chance at success."

"ReachLocal has great technology and is growing its offerings to potential clients"

"I have worked at ReachLocal since 2013. They have undergone many changes throughout the years, but with every change, the client first mentality has always been the forefront. All channels work extremely well together, creating a cohesive organizational goal. One of the key important factors is they promote internal promotions whether hiring externally. I highly respect and enjoy working for ReachLocal."

"ReachLocal was an incredible place to work right up until about 2017, when Gannett aquired them. Gannett (USA TODAY) is so out of touch with reality and the digital world and they seem to prefer doing business the way they did when print was king. Old school, super corporate and out of touch. The culture is poor and the product offering is stagnant, at best. Too many competitors in this space to not stay cutting edge. My guess is that they will go OOB within the next 5 years (if not sooner)."

"ReachLocal was a great place to work, but then we went public and the founders left and the new management got fired and then the next new management got fired and now the new new management wants all tech staff who have been at ReachLocal for more than 5 years to leave and has threatened layoffs, so we had two rounds of layoffs and lots of people left and now nobody knows how the software works or what it was supposed to do, and now they are outsourcing everything to Mumbai."

"I've worked for ReachLocal since 2010. The company has grown exponentially since I began working there. They now employ over 2,000 people across 18 different countries worldwide. The culture of the company remains that of a startup, however. It has been an excellent experience working for ReachLocal, but some people need more of a challenge."

"ReachLocal was a great company to work for when I was there. Since I have left it for a few years now and most, if not all, people that I knew there have left, I cannot tell its current status now."

"The overall work environment here is employee centric, but there's a lot of excess that would make this company much more efficient if it were to focus more on who's producing versus who's not producing. It's average all the way around, but the technology is amazing. Several senior officers left this company, which is never a positive sign. Nathan Hanks was awesome, but new leadership still has some big shoes to fill with Nathan's absence as the last founding member leaves ReachLocal."

"One of the founders attends every training class for new hired and is very much engaged from the start.What he lacks in is anyone who is not in a revenue producing role within the company. If I were running the show I would stay engaged with all employees within the company not just the ones that service the bottom line revenue stream."
