Pros

The pay can be fantastic Great sales training for someone who has not been in sales before Some fantastic people Office perks, free food, office aesthetic is great

Cons

Wild favoritism, favored reps are consistently pushed over their quota threshold through backdated revenue. These reps are also given better leads consistently. It’s something that was noticed by even sales team leads and has never been addressed New products are poor. Sales strategy is as simple as “let’s add headcount and try to sustain 100% YOY growth. No market analysis, no real strategy. Headcount and that’s it. Zero transparency with regards to sales targets that are constantly changing. Pay structure is also constantly changing Some great managers, others who have advanced simply because of tenure and luck Your book and your managers opinion of you can have incredible impact on your success, both good and bad. If you’re in a tough vertical with a bad manager...good luck

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review regarding the remote role you had with us here at Indeed. We definitely do not condone commission being taken away from our employees or tolerate unprofessional behavior. All commission eligible employees can track and have transparent visibility to the payments they receive and therefore commission earned and what gets paid to them. This does not seem to have been the case in your role so we’d like to talk with you further to research what may have happened. Please contact us at inside@indeed.com.

Growing pains that are getting worse, not better

Business Outlook

Pros

You work for a growing brand and influence in the staffing and job search space.

Cons

There are seemingly no written policies or procedures to explain or inform anything. Managers are not trained to help their teams excel, diversity is put on the back-burner to inclusion (put one pea on a pot of soup and try to make it fit in,... it can't), company is hiring so fast that a decline in revenue will certainly lead to layoffs, HR does not check in with employees, decision making is far too centralized and the company is not actively considering and combating growing competition.
