Pros

If you are deemed one of the favorites, you will be comfortable and safe. If not, god bless you. Management is very catty.

Cons

Sinking ship and everybody is fleeing. Poor management at the highest levels and poor business decisions have doomed this place.

Pros

1) you will meet great people that you will work with everyday. I have been here for over five years and I have made some great friends. 2) it's a sales job so you will be given enough rope, for people with no experience it can be detrimental because of lack of management support. 3)print is ironically still viable in some markets with good call counts. 4) AM's can do very well, but those positions aren't hired anymore.

Cons

Where to begin... 1) There is no clear message on what the big plan is. Every week it tends to change. 2) With the bank owning the company you don't know if your job is secure- big push for websites, makes me believe we might be sold to the highest bidder. 3) You are just a number- it's a sales job.( not a negative, but a fact). They make this very clear to you. 4)There is no care of quality of a sale, they just want you to sell anything to anyone- in many cases not what's good for the customer. 5) HORRIBLE CLIENT SUPPORT- customer service is a nightmare. 6)Extremely high turn over. highest I have seen in my 21 year profesional career. The new business model makes it impossible for these new hires to succeed. Bonus's for these new hires are non existent in many cases. 7) After training I received zero support. My first email was, " I'm sure you have family or friends who own a business; go sell them today"

Disappointing Experience

Pros

Literally the only good thing that came out of my employment there as a BDR was meeting and working with my fellow BDR's in my office.

Cons

Never in my 30+ years have I ever worked for a more incompetent group of people. The reporting system for sales is totally unreliable and in many cases totally inaccurate. The expectations for the salespeople are totally unrealistic and the managers are extremely incompetent, arrogant, and totally lacking in any leadership qualities. The company made a major change within the sales department nationwide splitting the staff into two divisions. One that sells the yellow pages and the other that sells only internet marketing products and only to new businesses. Management claims as recently as a week ago that over 600 salespeople were going to lose their job for failing to meet the new sales objectives. Question is if 600 people cant do it, is there any possibility the expectations are out of line? Hello investors! Is anyone paying any attention??
