Pros

Good place to start career and get some training and experience. Easy to advance from associate to manager in 1-2 years, and then senior manger in another 2 years (even if you are not managing anyone or gaining more responsibilities). Everyone is very friendly, and mostly smart and good at what they do. Very relaxed culture, hours are flexible and unlimited PTO. Also nice to have half cubicles and nobody has an office, so very open for collaboration and easy to interact with higher ups.

Cons

Pay is pretty low, raises and bonuses each year is barely anything due to "budgets". There was a big layoff and restructuring back in 2016 and since then there has been a lot of people leaving (low morale and people were overwhelmed with suddenly taking on 1.5-2 peoples roles ). Note for the summer internship program: you don't get any say in the team that you end up on after the training, and at the end of the internship there is a possibility they can't give you a full time offer due to that team not having enough budget. They may offer you a role in another team.

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.
