AE Chicago - Account Executive Yelp Employee Review

What happens to your brain when you become a manager or director at Yelp Chicago? Sure do wish there was a Nielsen Study for that enigma; I need charts and graphs to understand. I swear they pump these kids' egos up with so much praise and kool-aid for their 3-month stint of sales success that after they've been promoted---they lose all sense of reality. I wish you could hear the moronic ways they bicker and argue with you, desperately trying to sell you on the idea that you're the problem, no matter what. You better smile and nod, because they will can you and kick you out the door faster than Yelp's contracts cancel. Woah! That's fast! My manager was so. far. up. my. butt. every second of the day, hounding and hounding me to update dumb metrics spreadsheets, push more calls out, sell to absolutely anybody that would answer the phone no matter what, update the spreadsheet again, go to the millionth "round up" of the day, vet 30 selling leads in 10 minutes, stand up out of my seat to "create energy" for "power hours," timing my breaks, write her emails with sorrowful explanations as to why I didn't set enough appointments in a day, asking me to work overtime without pay to vet leads and save work hours for calling, CONSTANTLY nagging me about my leads and "where they're at" and making me call them 5 times a day for a decision if they didn't buy right away on the first call. They know nothing about sales outside of Yelp and that's why they have these absurd hair brained ideas. I'm just glad it's over.
