Pros

None, none and none!!!

Cons

Debt ridden- once the Industry Leader in SMB - sales, solutions and market presence. You want to find the worse managment to work for - well then this is the place. Executive management consists of those who never proved themselves in sales, friends takien care of friends. recent bail out of senior executives indicates a go no place company... good for a kid out of high school needing to make a quick base pay and then will be fired within 12 months. Sloppy management creed of performance and accountability, lots of pat's on their own backs.

Pros

Great training, great benefits, ability to work from home. A fairly progressive company in regards to their social beliefs. A very positive company.

Cons

Sub-par website product that is nearly impossible to sell in a competitive market. A quota for that product is strictly enforced. It's a basic website that basically anyone could do for free.

Pros

You are paid salary plus commission. Commission is on the original purchase price of the monthly contract, then a percentage of the residual book of business, car payment and mileage

Cons

If a client cancels before 12 months are up you get charge back the initial sale. How this works is you take the sale amount you received and then divide by 12, if they cancel 4 months before month 12 you get a chargeback of 4 months. Also sometimes people quit paying their bill and if HIBU has to cancel off the client, you get a charge back. Amount towards car payment is small and amount per mile is about .15 cents where as the national average for miles driven with the IRS for 2023 was around .60 per mile. There's a ton of meetings which makes managing accounts (you are paid residuals so keeping clients is important) plus you have to always have new business coming in. They also do a lot of team incentives but the teams are spread out location wise. Most people are not excited about a team overnight in the middle of the work week and would be a lot more excited for an extra 100.00 to spend however. They only promote people who have a huge amount of sales rather than looking back on a year and seeing there were months where someone has had a lot of sales but also showed amazing leadership skills. Just because someone is the top 5 of a report doesn't mean they will be a good leader where as someone level 5-10 on a report of 65 people might be a better fit to lead.
