Pros

-QuinStreet is composed of a lot of great people. It's the only company I've left where I've continued my friendships with my peers afterwards. -An okay place to start out if you don't know anything about digital advertising/marketing.

Cons

-The majority of their tech stack and platforms are built in house, meaning you won't have exposure to many technologies that other companies use. This makes growth hard to come by, especially if you are planning to one day leave the company. -The CEO and Directors of the company continue to hold on to verticals that are dragging the rest of the ship down. Time to drop those businesses and actually focus on the verticals that are profitable for QuinStreet! The stock would likely increase if this happened. -The organization does little to provide employees with growth or learning opportunities. A LinkedIn learning account is not a suitable substitution in my opinion, it's doing the bare-minimum. -Hoping of making six-figures at QuinStreet? It's not going to happen for many, many years. They love to hire young people straight out of college, then burn and churn them.

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.

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.
