Pros

My pay was always correct and ontime and I had amazing coworkers.

Cons

Absolutely no room for advancement unless you're in their version of the cool kids club. Pay is terrible, it's $13-14hr plus commission. The equipment is very outdated (cpu, headsets, monitors) and slow, they keep you at less than 40 hours a week on purpose and they fire you and take your PTO if you give them notice you're leaving.

The department this person is referring to is a sales role. There is no mention of the generous commission structure, and a one call close sales cycle with leads provided, nor all the spiffs and other perks the company offers. The department only works 8-4, M-F which is the least of everyone else in the company. This is an entry level position and does not require previous experience. The reason people do not succeed in this role is because they are relying on the "base" and not looking at the full earning opportunity, actually making the calls and showing up for work and being open to feedback. Regarding advancement, we have advanced over 35 people in the last year in various departments (we only have an average of 110 employees) so the advancement ratio is extremely high. To be considered for advancement BizIQ core values must be demonstrated on a consistent basis. One must be a dedicated employee, have integrity and demonstrate that they can handle a more responsible role by having great attendance and above average performance month over month. And of course, the obvious, one must apply for the role. We have been successful thus far because we do practice what we preach. Best of luck to you in your future ventures.

Pros

As a Recruitment Manager, one of the things I've appreciated most is how much this company invests in its people. There's a real focus on ongoing development, leadership growth and giving employees opportunities to develop. The culture is another standout. Leadership genuinely wants to hear employees' ideas and feedback, which creates an open and collaborative environment. It's also a fun place to work, with great people and a positive atmosphere. Being part of a progressive, fast-paced industry keeps the work interesting.

Cons

BizIQ can be a fast-paced and busy environment with a strong focus on adapting to new things. It’s a very growth-oriented workplace, which is definitely a positive. But if you prefer a role where things stay the same and ongoing learning feels more like “homework,” this may not be the right fit.

Pros

Total buy-in by ownership and management for the inspiration, growth, innovation, and unique systems necessary to provide the best possible customer service and SEO that small and medium-sized businesses need to succeed in both Google and AI in today's digital marketing landscape. In my 5 months at BizIQ, and through having personal interactions with management and employees in every department, I have yet to meet anyone I wouldn't want to work alongside. That is rare! Everyone is at the top of their game and an absolute pleasure to work with. From HR, sales teams, training, CS, and account managers to SEO and Content specialists, strategists, and managers, everyone is very supportive, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Throughout all my years of employment, I had yet to find an HR department that I truly felt had everyone's back and was a pleasure to interact with instead of a chore...until I landed at BIzIQ. What a difference a great HR team can make! I am thrilled with the proactive and forward-thinking culture that BizIQ supports, and I would highly recommend that anyone who is searching for a rewarding position at an SEO company that excels at performing their best work possible for clients and supports its employees equally as well, give BizIQ a good look.

Cons

Quite a few meetings for management level, but very fixable
