Pros
They gave me a chance. As a former professional of 10 years, I had experience but it was not in Sales. It was in teaching. Giving me a chance and training me into a Sales role was huge and actually helped me leverage my experience into a different, more lucrative position. The training program was excellent and is perfect for someone who is transitioning into a career in Sales.
Cons
Where to begin. Inherently flawed product. I can’t tell you how many situations I was placed in where the business owner on the other end said our product was flawed and you are working for a company that extorts small business owners. Sometimes they were just being irrational but more times than not I was inclined to agree with them. Mindless hours of calling and reading from a script. There were so many days when I wanted to walk out midway through the day and tell management that I quit. I guess my greatest disappointment was Yelp misrepresenting how much money you can actually make here. Rarely did I go a month when I didn’t make money for the company, but there policy that you needed to make 12K before making any sort of commission was unfair. Most Reps I know never really made much in commission or when they did they would chargebacks from businesses who were cancelling their ad program because it didn’t work for them.
