Pros

Very structured and professional environment.

Cons

The owners and executives of Advance Local are almost exclusively the children and relatives of former owners and executives. The culture of nepotism runs rampant. The company is constantly trying to outsource as many job roles as they can to low-wage contractors in third-world countries despite posting record profits in 2020.

Pros

I learned so much about digital marketing and media while there including about display ads, paid search, paid social, and content marketing. They are a super casual and friendly company, but very hardworking and dedicated to growing.

Cons

The company is remote so it was a bit harder to fully connect with my coworkers and clients. It was a good challenge to think of ways to put myself out there more though.
