Pros

It was a job when I needed a job and the salary plus commission was not bad.

Cons

Worked for hibu for 3 years. Laid off and I'm looking for a new job and despite years of successful industrial sales prior to hibu, recruiters tell me that I wasted 3 years by working for them and new employers do not take me seriously since I sold yellow pages. Doesn't matter what I used to do, the fact that I had to go so low as to accept a job selling yellow pages - they don't even recognize hibu as a digital marketing company. Working for hibu has poisoned me for "real employers" Run, run fast, do not get caught up in the crap highlighted in most other reviews, and take my advice, even if you need the money and take the job, it will hamstring you later when hibu lets you go. Make no mistake, eventually you will miss a month or a quarter and they will how you the door.

Pros

A lot of the people are great to work with, and there are aspects that are pretty standard and only to be expected in a large organization.

Cons

We make the same mistakes over and over again.... decision making seems to be centered around a small set of individuals and changing approach for processes and approaches to make improvements is nigh-on impossible unless it fits with their view of how things should be done.

Company is currently working its way through bankruptcy. Many functions have been moved overseas to lower operating costs. Has had a huge negative effect on customer service and quality of web based services.
