Pros

There's decent flexibility with this job because all sales staff work from home.

Cons

The only ones who like this company are over in India - if you're stateside - there are very few good reviews! Unattainable quotas... sales managers will harp all day long that this is totally achieveable, but yet, they are not out there and they couldn't do it if their jobs depended on it! Micro-managed to the max! EVERYTHING must be recorded or as far as they're concerned, it didn't happen. They are firing people left and right. If you're not liked, they will do everything possible to push you OUT! They start new reps out with NOTHING! Good luck! You're going to need it! If you don't perform and quickly, they will let you go - the faster the better - cuz then it's a tax write off for them to get rid of you as fast as possible. Our division had about 100 people in it in May/June 2014 - we're down to 12. TWELVE!!! The management do NOT care... they used to. I think they feel trapped as well. If you make a report into HR, nothing will get done... I think they pride themselves on the worst managers possible. David Eckert has a record of coming into companies, cutting massive amounts of employees and making the books look good enough to the company can sell... it's not looking good.

Pros

-Made six figures a couple years. -The websites have slightly improved but that’s not saying much. -Now selling social which is a step in the right direction, although the social product does not work. -Get your foot into sales and move on.

Cons

-None of the products work. -Management is still in place from selling the phone directory. SMB advertising has drastically changed and become a much more complex sale, management has not. To say the management is horrible is an understatement. -The company is unethical and misrepresents their products. -High Turnover. -It might sound harsh but pretty much everything about this company is garbage.

Pros

Coworkers are great and will help you keep a positive mindset (which is really hard to have in this workplace). Everybody kind of bashes on the company together. Pay was good. Cake was served almost every other day for anniversaries. So much down time you could literally knit a blanket.

Cons

Either a ton to do or absolutely nothing to do. Management doesn't care about anything but "the bigger picture". Job can be stressful as you are responsible for what the customer's website looks like and presenting it to them. Work with people overseas that don't understand 90% of what you say - and vice versa. Hours are kind of crappy. They will give people in failing departments better hours and higher pay in order to keep them with the company.
