Pros

Yelp provides great benefits including a keg in the office and unlimited snacks and refreshments. Awesome training It is an extension of college, all of of your coworkers are down to party including your MANAGERS

Cons

Only 20% of the employees in the scottsdale office have been there longer than 6 months. You will watch all of your friends get fired, and then you will get fired. NO JOB SECURITY. Even if you are a top performer, they will fire you if you have ONE bad month. DO NOT TAKE THIS JOB IF YOU DO NOT HAVE INSIDE SALES EXPERIENCE. The PAY is horrible. You will make just enough to pay rent and bills and be able to hit the bar a few times a week. The recruiter is lying when they tell you that you will make commission your first year. You have to sell over $100,000 first, then you can make commission. Small business owners hate that you call them everyday.

Pros

Supportive management-My manager is amazing and truly cares about my personal and professional growth. Career development- I love the position I am in, but have been encouraged for others. Yelp offers great opportunities to advance, explore new roles and develop new skills if that's the direction you want. Work life balance-10/10. As a mom of 3, I feel empowered to balance my family responsibilities and career and Yelp does just that. Inclusivity and culture- Yelp’s commitment to belonging and inclusivity is real, I’ve always felt valued here. I love my team so much. Flexibility- Movement between roles and growth are genuinely supported. Working from home also helps a lot with flexibility. Employee recognition-Hard work is acknowledged and celebrated daily.

Cons

Large company changes- Like any sizable company, occasional shifts or leadership changes mean adapting to new processes. Remote work challenges- Not unique to Yelp, but staying connected with coworkers virtually can take extra effort. Compensation-Base is very low compared to a lot of other tech companies, but again you put the work in and it all evens out.
