Pros
I believed in the Yelp Ads platform and products prior to onboarding with the company, so selling a product you believe it was a Pro. . . BUT THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE CON JOB. The free swag was cool, but who can relax and get a massage when you can't pay your bills?
Cons
THE COMPENSATION SUCKS. If you have emailed and pitched a business owner and they have any issues signing up on their own, they aren't directed to call the AE assigned to the account THEY ARE DIRECTED TO CALL AN 877 NYMBER FOR CUSTOMER SUCCESS AND YOU LOSE HALF OF THE TINY COMMISSION THEY PAY The most cutthroat sales atmosphere I have experienced. This place is pure telemarketing scheme, and their business model is not sustainable. TOXIC - BEWARE! In addition, the Yelp Ads Program I once believed in is TOTAL GARBAGE. If a business owner advertises, they are advised not to solicit reviews from their customers. There is software that removes AWESOME 5 STAR reviews and placed them in a hard to find "Unrecommended" location. This happens if the reviewer is a new member, or it is picked up as unreliable by some phantom software. Yelp then sends the rep out there with some bogus info and the message is, WE DON'T SELL REVIEWS??!!! It's the "algorithm. " That's a SALES SUICIDE MISSION and for the lowest pay EVER, as they dangle the possibility of clearing six figures with dignity. I think not.
