Pros

This is a remote job which you could consider a positive. However the management team with track you on every single thing you do. They are monitoring how much you call and when. For example if you don't make a calls back to back within 2min your manager will talk to you. They will ask why you have a gap between 11:00- 11:05 and a gap between 11:20 and 11:26. This goes down to the minute. In my first month of training my first manager was fired. Then two associates were fired. Finally almost everyone in my small training class quite. There is very little PTO starting off at only a week. Do not work here.

Cons

The customers despise yelp with a passion. I have never worked in a company where the customers hate you so much just for working with them. The customer base has a more negative view of Yelp sales people than car sales people and furniture salesman. I was constantly yelled at everyday over the phone. The management team is completely aware. However because they moved away from the cold calling they could care less. There is a possibility to make six figures, yes, like any sales job. However yelp top sales reps act just like a scammer over the phone. They will spend over an hour coaxing small business owners into a $300 a month payment that will not make them money. Do not just take my word for it. There is a whole documentary on how bad this company is called "Billion Dollar Bully". Business owners have no choice to be on the Yelp platform. Anyone literally anyone can make a yelp page for the business owner and there is no way to remove them.

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.
