Poor experience - Anonymous employee Go Local Interactive Employee Review

The sales team has an amazing culture and is a joy to be around every day. Chris Nothnick is a true leader who inspires those around him and ignites a passion for selling digital marketing. His energy, guidance, and enthusiasm create an environment where people are motivated to grow, succeed, and continuously improve.

The cons are that I can't spend more time here everyday!

Some of the employees are true gems that will help you improve and be a better human.

I worked here for several years and left with mixed feelings. There are genuinely talented people at this company, but structural and leadership issues held it back in meaningful ways. Direct management was often ineffective and difficult to work with. Compensation increases were consistently underwhelming, and it became clear over time that meaningful pay bumps were reserved for those in favor with leadership, frequently disguised as title changes rather than real advancement. The CEO's fixation on in-office presence over actual results signaled a fundamental distrust of employees and reflected a broader culture that prioritized optics over outcomes. The sales team operated with too little oversight, which created persistent friction with other departments. Go Local has a tendency to reward difficult client behavior rather than address it, which only encouraged more of it. This made not only the day to day, but also evenings for the poor souls who had to manage the fallout. Product development was too heavily influenced by individual client requests rather than a coherent long-term vision. The web department and leadership has a habit of chasing new projects and features before stabilizing what already exists. This spreads the team thin. Low performers were given far too many chances, with some able to coast without consequence for extended periods. This eroded morale for those carrying the weight and sent the wrong message about what was expected.
