Pros

--Growth mode --Great concept --Website/company growing rapidly --Great training --Effective advertising --Company not going anywhere but up --Intense sales atmosphere --Excellent location in the heart of Scottdale.

Cons

--The place is run by kids. All your peers are in their early to mid-twenties, who think they know it all. --You will be overworked and underpaid, resulting in burnout and turnover. Think 12 hours a day for a little over $30k/year. --Management and HR make you feel like you should be blessed to have a job there. Therefore, you should never turn down a request...and you should smile while doing everything as you're told. --Lack of racial diversity, especially in the Scottsdale location. --High pressure environment. If you don't hit your targets, you will be cut loose, before and after the 60 day trial period. --Incompetence is rampant from the top down. --They are seeking to the perfect "applicant", which begs the question, why is there a 60 day training period if the applicants have to know the Yelp sales pitch down to a 'T' prior to coming onboard?

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.
