Pros

Excellent insight into the restaurant world,great opportunity to learn a lot about the business side of the restaurant industry. Great earning potential on the commission, one phone call can make make you thousands of dollars. Excellent sales training and learning opportunity, worked with the most brilliant sales reps in the industry.

Cons

The dark cloud that sits on Yelp as a brand makes the sales more about defending the brand as opposed to providing a solution that actually works for the business. Hiring management externally created a negative shift culture, morale and overall performance.

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.
