Pros

It is a good company if you would like to gain experience in the pre-press/new media industry.

Cons

Low pay. HR does not push to fairly compensate internal promotions, and pays higher to external candidates with same or fewer qualifications. That encourages attrition and most talented people do not stay for more than few years.

Pros

You can make a ton of money if you are willing to work for in it. You have a variety of products to sell (search engine marketing, yellowbook.com and phone book). Senior management has a great vision toward the future and what opportunities are ahead for the company and employees. Contests and rewards are given for top performers regularly. There is a great deal of flexibility for working parents when you are performing well. The advancement opportunities exist both on the management side as well as in sales--and you can go back to sales if you decide management is not for you.

Cons

The expectations seem unrealistic many times. In this market you are required to sell into 8 different directories throughout the year plus sell search engine marketing and yellowbook.com. Local management seems to be out of touch with the daily requirements of their sales team. Local management seems to lack the enthusiasm and support that is needed to run a successful sales environment. Communication at the local level is very poor. Our management team cannot even tell us what our local objectives are so that I know whether or not I am successful. The office environment is extremely negative with managers blaming reps most of the time.

Pros

Excellant pay for hard work! This company provides ample opportunity to positively impact your compensation. Additionally, they are attempting to stay on the cutting edge of technology and marketing trends. We offer a superior product at a fair price as well as provide a "back room" support system to insure that we keep our customer satisfied. Upper level management seems to care a great deal about the reps if at times a little removed from the current obstacle that we face...Opportunity for career advancement limited only to your aspirations.

Cons

Low level management LAZY!!! Alot of favoritism
