Pros

There are many products to offer to clients and the hours are flexible. It is a great resume builder due to the exposure to a multitude of different products. ie: SEO, SEM, Direct mail etc

Cons

After the initial 3 weeks of training that only teaches print... ie ad sizes, bold listings etc. there is absolutely no training or assistance. Once you get back from training you are thrown to the wolves and expected to just go sell.

Pros

Virtual Schedule and hours, relaxed dress code, decent money but not good money. You will learn how to multi task with several different software programs, clients and product knowledge.

Cons

Constantly changing direction, poor sales management and no leadership, subpar products with lack of fulfillment after a sale. Back end support at the home office has been scaled back/undertrained and overworked. Shipped important fulfillment jobs overseas to the Philippines. Once you are able to overcome objections and finally make a sale, it can all go to "pot" with antiquated billing systems that aren't in synch with the new programs. ,"Some" customer service staff that are not trained equally nor in sequence with the sales staff they were supposed to be helping. Lastly, the company rolls out product, technology and software programs that are not properly vetted and expect performance when most of the time you are confused about what it is you should do next. Lastly, Lastly -their websites stink!

Pros

Co-workers who genuinely care and will help you whenever you need assistance, solid training program

Cons

Where to begin? Ever since Hibu was taken over in March, our new president has been two-faced from the start, first promising bold new ventures but only to follow up with massive layoffs. Sales reps aren't trained properly and spend more time on the phones than actually doing their jobs and, even then, some reps will bully you and treat you like you're their lap dog. Upper management could care less about making an impact in the market and seem okay with lousy products that customers don't want. Customers are grumpy because no one department communicates with the other.
