Pros

Office-based role with exposure to sales and digital marketing

Cons

Pros – Office-based role with exposure to sales and digital marketing – Can be a stepping stone for people very early in their career Cons – Extremely high-pressure environment with unrealistic daily and weekly targets – Overtime is effectively expected and becomes the norm rather than the exception – Culture relies heavily on junior staff and working holiday visa holders, many of whom may feel they have limited ability to push back – Management style is rigid and authoritarian, with little flexibility or empathy for individual circumstances – Performance management often feels punitive rather than supportive – High turnover, which should be a red flag for prospective employees Advice to Management Retention will not improve without meaningful changes to workload expectations, leadership approach, and respect for work-life balance. Sustainable performance comes from realistic targets and supportive management, not intimidation or fear-based motivation. Advice to Prospective Employees If you value work-life balance, psychological safety, and achievable KPIs, think carefully before accepting a role here. Comparable entry-level roles in retail or hospitality often offer better pay relative to stress and hours worked.b

Pros

learnt more here than in any other environment. Big culture for learning, sales and constant feedback and support. It is a winning environment, and positivity is a must. Achievable targets with just a bit of effort on your side. Managers and leaders are invested in actually helping you and improving you. Massive opportunities, even partnership for the right person.

Cons

If you do not like feedback and growth you won't enjoy it. This is a sales job so targets are pushed to be hit,

Pros

Not applicable in the slightest

Cons

If you value your time, energy, or basic dignity at work, Think Local Search is not the place for you. The culture is built on relentless pressure, unrealistic expectations, and a complete disregard for sustainable workloads. Long hours are normalised, boundaries are quietly punished, and the gap between what’s promised and what’s delivered is vast. Support is thin, direction shifts constantly, and accountability flows one way only. There’s a strong emphasis on output at any cost, with little concern for burnout, morale, or professional development. Communication often feels reactive rather than strategic, and problems are framed as individual failures rather than systemic issues — even when those issues are obvious to anyone paying attention. If you’re early in your career and don’t yet know what healthy workplaces look like, this environment may feel “fast-paced” or “challenging.” If you do know, you’ll recognise it for what it is: poorly managed, extractive, and unsustainable. Plenty of companies demand hard work. Fewer do it while offering respect, clarity, and genuine support. This isn’t one of them. I’d strongly encourage anyone considering a role here to ask very specific questions about hours, expectations, turnover, and how success is actually measured, and to listen carefully to what isn’t said.
