Pros

Made lasting relationships with colleagues. The sales training was very robust and I still utilize what I learned there today.

Cons

Was a revolving door/churn and burn company. They oversell the job to college graduates who are naive and do not know what to expect about life after college. It is a cold calling sales job with a low base salary and commission is extremely hard to receive and if you do qualify for commission that month, it really isn't much. Turnover is very high because individuals are let go even during training if they don't meet sales. If someone is there for 1 year it is a very big deal.

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.
