      Constant scrambling and inappropriate Management ...both upper and lower.

      Pros

      I believe it used to be a great place to work back in the day when yellowpages were respected and needed. Yellowbook had a great training program, IST, and reps. left energized and ready to make money. They used to offer a great base salary, $35,000 plus loads of commission and perks. Management worked side by side reps. and helped them all day long. The product line was simple but demanded. It was like stealing candy from a baby since our local competition was way over priced and hated. Local management was great and so supportive. They were trained properly and relayed that to the reps.

      Cons

      Yellowbook is scrambling to make its place in the new digital world. They offer bad simple websites and have virtually zero back end support from IT. They are adding so many products which, under a great company leadership, would be a good thing. However, they are adding things that are not up to par and the people making these decisions, have no clue on how to sell them and therefore, have no idea what they are doing. The company morale is at an all time low and all of management ignores it. Reps. are so pressured and threatened and as a result,only do what is needed to keep off of radar. This is what happens when a company changes it's strategy and atmosphere to one of fear of job loss. The current local base pay is a low $21,000/year. Almost half of what it was.

      Run as far away as you can from THIS looney bin

      Video production specialist

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I was hired in June of 2010 as a "Video Production Specialist" which is a misnomer to start with, as I never worked WITH and video. My job was to write audio commercial copy for :15, :30 & :60 seconds ads that run on yellowbook.com. The audio tracks are sent to INDIA to be paired with cheap stock photos of doctors, lawyers, plumbers etc., with predictably hilarious results. One of my co-workers did a job for an auto parts store, and one of the words used in the script was "hoses"; the video actually went to the client with a couple of pictures of HORSES! Only a small handfull of the employees had ever actually recorded a voiceover, so the quality is, predictably, awful. The ONLY reason I keep working here is the insurance coverage. It's BC/BS, and I didn't have insurance for the last two years, so this is the ONLY positive. Well, they DO have free coffee.

      Cons

      The "cons" list is almost endless; NONE of the managers in the "creative" department have ANY experience in ad agencies, production facilities, radio or TV. The ONLY thing Adworks cares about is "measurable output". The managers keep inventing new ways to "grade" what should be a creative process with an ever dizzying array of Excel Spreadsheets. In spite of my 20 + years experience in audio production, I was just re-assigned to the Website Writing Department. I have NO experience or interest in this position, but never fear, I don't need to know HTML or any other web-ready processing; ALL our work is done thru pre-written "site scripts" that need a "cut & paste" approach.

      Yellow Book is a typical high pressure sales jobs with decent rewards if you can handle the pressure

      Pros

      Yellow book offers good pay if you can keep up with your sales quotas and make all of you sales goals. there is generally a lot of freedom with your time because you make your own schedule and set up your own appointments to meet customers. there are also good benefits for employees.

      Cons

      HIGH PRESSURE! As a sales representative you are expected to hit very difficult sales goals and quotas. If you do not hit your goals you will not make your bonus (which is where your real pay comes from). If you do not hit your goals you will be under constant threat of loosing your job. territories in which you solicit customers are assigned by management so if you are not favored by specific managers you may get stuck trying to sell products in parts of town in which there is not much business.
