Pros

Young, good-looking crowd. Fully stocked kitchen. Casual dress attire.

Cons

They need to rename their title of "account executive" to "telemarketer." You aren't handling any accounts - all you do is call people nonstop all day! Territories completely matter. How am I going to sell advertising to a small Amish community in Pennsylvania versus someone who has Manhattan or Miami? Makes no sense. They are very strict with you having to be on the phones 3+ hours and making a certain number of appointments and pitches. It's ridiculous. They have a program that monitors how long you have been on the phones so even if its noon and you think you've been on the phones awhile, it could only turn out to be 40 mins in reality. Sales is tough and it's not for everyone, I suggest if you're just looking for a job DO NOT work here. If you're looking for a serious career in sales then do it. The nonstop cold calling, getting hung up on by rude people, being yelled at for not being on the phones more than 2 hours daily, is what ultimately made me quit. I haven't looked back and I'm much happier!

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.
