Pros

Wonderful training, managers and fellow employees willing to help if needed, and great sales experience.

Cons

The computers that you write orders on are unpredictable and cause a lot of frustration in the sales process. The Products they offer no longer work. There are other advertising options at a better value if you are a business owner. Due to this it is now a media company with a portfolio of products to sell but they are all products that could be purchased elsewhere and for less with better specialized service. The company was created to sell yellow page advertising and that is a product that is rarely used now. The websites they sell are not well designed and the hosting fees are more expensive than if you had a quality web designer create a specialized site for you needs. The SEO they sell would be better managed by a firm that just specializes in SEO. Their products are not the best value for a business owner anymore and because of this i do not feel it is a good place to sell for and feel good about what you are selling.

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.
