Pros

Cool office, fully stocked kitchens, very good training, 100% of health insurance is covered. Fun culture if you are in your early 20s. They have some fun contests (giving away iPad minis etc). You'll get some great initial sales experience here.

Cons

23 and 24 year olds are constantly promoted to management positions (which puts them in charge of 8-12 other sales reps). The reason for their promotion has nothing to do with management skills, but has everything to do with how much they suck up and drink the koolaid. The pay is abysmal. Imagine making $30k a year in SF or NYC. Managers sleep with reps on their teams, there is tons of office drama, yet nobody gets punished for it. The territory system is a complete and utter joke. You're given the same quota in Mobile, Alabama as you would have in Beverly Hills.

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.
