Pros

Autonomy: they really let me, as a senior employee, do my own thing. The money was fantastic for a period of time, with great benefits, 401K, profit sharing and bonuses. I earned three trips for my spouse and I during my tenure there.

Cons

Hibu's main product is Yellow Book, which really began dying in 2007-8. Prior to that, when I was asked, I always said that Yellow Book would be the casl company that I would work for. Towards the last few years of my employment, they were introducing new products all the time to try to get revenue moving in the right direction. Demands were made of all the reps that were completely unrealistic... and short-sighted. See xx number of websites this wee, sell magazine ads another week, etc...

Pros

reat place to work! They truly care about their employees and create an environment where people feel supported and valued. The managers are amazing—they encourage you, challenge you, and push you every day to grow and succeed. It’s a team that genuinely wants to see you win.

Cons

I would recommend doing a little more research and qualification before passing leads over to the reps. Some leads are labeled as ‘hot,’ but after speaking with them, they often don’t have the urgency, need, or buying intent expected. A stronger qualification process would help the sales team focus their time on opportunities that are truly ready to move forward.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
