Pros

-Great atmosphere (food, drinks, and kegs in the office) -Friendly, outgoing, co-workers - You get what you put in. Work hard and get rewarded - Very transparent, if you're not doing well you know it -Awesome to work for such a well known and (for the most part) respected company -The company atmosphere and great culture is what keeps people in the office -Management started off in the same position as the trainees, so they know what it's like and can easily relate. All the managers and directors are really great and it's nice to see that they love what they do. -Turnover rate is not as high as people would assume. It's not as "boiler room" as expected. -Basically if you're not good at the job, you'll know within a couple months

Cons

-Like many reviews before me have said, the territory you get in training will make or break your career. You must sell a certain amount in your first territory to get a new (better) one. No one gets an AMAZING territory in training, but there is a huge difference between a capital city, and a slow town suburb -One week you could do great, then the next you could do awfull, and the awfull week still completley over shadows the great one and that can be stressful -Since it's cold calling, the work hard and get rewarded statement doesn't always even out. It's a guessing game of who wants to talk to you and when. Also some people can be really rude -You basically sit at a big desk with your co workers, so everyone around you can hear you at all times. That in itself isn't bad because everyone is helpful and encouraging, but when you DO want privacy (or shelter from the loud office) you can't find it -If you don't like cold calling, this isn't for you

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.
