Pros

They might hire you and any job is better than no job...maybe

Cons

The company breads a toxic work culture producing frustrated, over-worked, and frequently leaving employees. Senior management has a penchant for hiring consultants away from the likes of Bain or McKinsey to run their verticals and/or take leadership roles. Many of whom have learned during their consulting gigs to talk a good game and justify their existence but lack real understanding of the business. QS provides these managers a practice field on which to flail until such a time they figure out what they are doing and leave for better companies and work environments. As mentioned this company has a very high employee churn rate leading to inconsistent focus/vision as well as of-course disruption. Frequently, the duties of the people leaving are piled onto those remaining b/c the company is not in a secure enough finiancal state to hire replacements. No-one seems to want to stick around very long once they see how things are run here. This includes me.

Amazing work morale at QuinStreet. You get to work alongside others that are experienced in their field and they truly care about your work life balance.

Cons

It has been difficult making extra bonuses due to some of the verticals being newer.

Pros

The company can offer strong earning potential and a large enough operation to create real opportunities for sales reps who are in the right segment with the right support at the right time. There are talented people across the organization and certain teams can be collaborative and knowledgeable. The business also has legitimate demand in the home services space, and there is value in the products when the fit is right. For someone who performs well in a fast paced, metric driven environment, there is room to make good money and gain solid experience.

Cons

The culture can feel highly numbers driven in a way that sometimes prioritizes activity volume over strategic selling and long term fit. Management quality varies significantly, and communication around expectations, compensation, and deal flexibility can be inconsistent. In some cases, sales reps may feel pressured to push opportunities that are not ideal fits, which can create frustration and hurt long term client success. There also seems to be limited alignment between leadership, sales, and support teams at times, which can make it harder to execute effectively and build confidence in the process.
