Pros
I believe it used to be a great place to work back in the day when yellowpages were respected and needed. Yellowbook had a great training program, IST, and reps. left energized and ready to make money. They used to offer a great base salary, $35,000 plus loads of commission and perks. Management worked side by side reps. and helped them all day long. The product line was simple but demanded. It was like stealing candy from a baby since our local competition was way over priced and hated. Local management was great and so supportive. They were trained properly and relayed that to the reps.
Cons
Yellowbook is scrambling to make its place in the new digital world. They offer bad simple websites and have virtually zero back end support from IT. They are adding so many products which, under a great company leadership, would be a good thing. However, they are adding things that are not up to par and the people making these decisions, have no clue on how to sell them and therefore, have no idea what they are doing. The company morale is at an all time low and all of management ignores it. Reps. are so pressured and threatened and as a result,only do what is needed to keep off of radar. This is what happens when a company changes it's strategy and atmosphere to one of fear of job loss. The current local base pay is a low $21,000/year. Almost half of what it was.
