Join a sinking ship! - Anonymous employee Spokeo Employee Review

Up until this point in my career I had never experienced any hint of nepotism or sexism…so I had a really hard time coming to terms with the fact that not only is it a real issue at this company, its a HUGE problem that runs RAMPANT. At the end of the day this is a family run business. The managers are married to people in the c-suite, c-suite's best friends run departments, there are friends, cousins, siblings and more, and they will ALL be prioritized over you. As much as it pains me to say it, the sexism affects everything, be prepared to have people with many years less experience manage you, for bizarre requests that go against best practices to pop up, for your education and experience to be questioned daily, for you to be relentlessly micromanaged, and lastly for your presence to barely be acknowledged and your work discounted and ignored. On top of everything, the technology is not proprietary, is not innovative, is not accurate and the space is extremely competitive. People search is a dying industry and the numbers month-over-month prove it. With all the concerns around privacy I can not imagine this industry surviving the next 5 years. For a company that has been around for over 10+ years there is a general cluelessness that is truly mind boggling. From the basics of running a business, to common curtesy and professionalism, to best practices in ANY department, to interpreting analytics and data, to how customers are respected and treated. The way this company treats its customers is shameful. A company who admits their best customers are the "ones who forget they have the membership" or "pass away and we are able to charge their cards for a couple more months" In short, RUN... Run like there is a herd of elephants, with a 50ft avalanche on their heels, and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius right behind that...AWAY from this place.
