Pros

The company has an great work life balance: flexible work hours, frequent opportunities to work from home, minimal travel. The benefits and salary are very competitive, including bonuses. The company has a Philanthropic mindset and tries to hold regular events to keep up morale. Company has been working hard to make the post-yellowbook business model work. They have worked themselves out of the financial and debt problems and are trying to grow their new digital business. Engineering department has the ability to make technical decisions with few restrictions.

Cons

Some parts of organization are overly bloated and processes can be burdensome at times. Little opportunity for career advancement. Leadership team does not seem execute very well or have good vision for future product/business growth. Overall company morale is somewhat low due to the consistent downsizing of the old yellowbook business. Ineffective use of offshore resources.

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.
