Pros

Back when I started the training program was excellent, salary, benefits great. It was a grand ole time. Keep reading.

Cons

Approx. 1-1-1/2 years later the industry changed and so did Yellow Book. The mid-atlantic region is just plain awful to their reps, it's crazy. I have read reviews by so called "real" sales reps and know they lie. In 2010 I did well financially. Putting money aside...micro managing, reports, poor management. The sales reps are responsible for everything. No one else gives a crap. The reps have to find, close, manage, maintain all accts. Management DOES NOTHING. Sales liaisons, PRIME does nothing. though IT great. Guys, there are only so many hours in a day and guess what, we have lives to. When a company goes from one extreme to another you know they are fighting for their life, survival. Fellow employees, I know you are afraid to leave your jobs because you MAY not find another one quickly. Good luck to you all.

Cons

the yellow page industry is really having a tough time of late. the search engines have had an impact so it is a much tougher sale than years ago this has lead to many new products so there is alot more to learn.

Pros

I have worked at Yellow Book USA for over a year now. They gave me a chance when other companies would not. It Is hard work, lots of appointments per week and some cold calling. What I love is that you get paid in relation to how hard you work. First year i am on track to make 82k and next year I feel that I could make over six figures for certain. For me it is a dream since my last sales job was commission only and I could only make 45k at the most. The benefits here are outstanding as well. The base salary is okay but at least there is a decent base to get you started but it does not take long to start making commission here. I hope to stay many years and grow with the company!

Cons

The products are changing everyday and it can be a challenge to keep up with the technology. You really have to get training (which they provide) for the internet products.
