Pros

A lot of freedom. Commission is good as long as you're able to stay in the top tier of the commission structure.

Cons

Company doesn't seem to have actual procedures in place. Felt like management just decided how things go on a whim. Pay out higher commissions for specific businesses they deem are better and more established when at least 50% or more were to verticals we weren't supposed to target or were out of business. Product being sold could be done for much cheaper for same if not better result. It is a cookie cutter template product being sold as a boutique product. Management would regularly encourage reps to lie to prospects to get sale. Clients are only in 6 month contract but if they cancel before 12 months the rep gets a clawback and it affects their retention.

Pros

Sells industry-best products and services and takes really good care of their clients. I’ve worked with a lot of digital marketing people and Hibu is easily the best in their space. I really can’t say anything bad about them because even as far as big corporations go they are extremely laid back people nationwide. They have a rigorous hiring process to ensure such an atmosphere.

Cons

The industries that they prefer to work with or are more reasonably able to turn a profit on feels limited sometimes. This isn’t a bad thing but their application and hiring process is longer than most companies and it can take several months. They just invest so much time and money into every new employee and also making sure every person is the right fit personality wise too. I think the benefits of this long process far outweigh the time scale but if you’re pressed for time on a fast career change *RIGHT NOW* then Hibu probably isn’t the best bet.
