Pros

- good work/life balance - can WFH when needed - good opportunity to learn if you want to - great place to start a career

Cons

Employees have either been here 10 years or 1 year. High turnover rate due to the senior management having the mentality of "we've been doing it this way for years and it works fine". Not much room to change/update processes and practices. Old technology and laptops. Everything seems rushed to be completed to start generating revenue. Which causes many problems in the building process that only get band-aids once pushed live. Recruiting, HR and admin push "fun" activities but only they partake. Verticals are extremely segregated. The edu team has absolutely no idea what the financial services team does.

Pros

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.
