Pros

- Great culture - Company is growing - Perks - Training - Designed program of progression

Cons

- Extremely high volume of cold calling (80-100+) - Work is terribly repetitive - No technical skills are developed in this job - Once you are in sales, you pretty much stay here - Lack of job security (they are hiring so many people, because so many others are being fired) - Extremely low salary (in NYC you can barely make it by with this salary), which is why I said do NOT take this as a first job out of college - Culture can be too hype sometimes - Your success here really depends on your starting territory. This is a luck based job, not skill really. It depends on who you are talking to and when. A great rep can get a horrible territory while a less talented rep gets a better one. Who wins in that situation?

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.
