Pros

Teaches you what you like or don’t like about a hard-line, cut-throat, ultra fast paced sales job.

Cons

Everything else. Miserable work, except for an incredibly small population of individuals with low sensitivity and small conscience.

Pros

-The working environment and the people you work with . -fully stocked kitchen (although same food all the time) -good benefits.

Cons

This job will mentally drain you, psychologically destroy you, and physically tire you, day to day. The salary sucks and you can barely get by. The commission structure is worst I’ve ever seen in sales job. Don’t even count on commission, because you’re not very lucky to get it! I wouldn’t recommend this job to my worst enemy!! I’m just trying to save you, I wish there were someone to have saved me!! Do more research or try to find someone that works there first, before you make the move! I would never, ever work here again! Most stressful job and environment I’ve ever been apart of in my life!! And all for a 39k base with little or no commission!!!

Pros

- It's a good place to start your career, though I wouldn't strive for a long term career within Yelp. - The other reps are some of my closest friends

Cons

- Management is okay. My first manager was amazing, my second was a NIGHTMARE. I lost several deals because when I needed manager access for certain issues with accounts, her exact response would be "what do you want me to do about it?" She SUCKED. - You are worthless if you aren't closing deals. I mean...WORTHLESS. I would constantly have to remind myself that I'm worth so much more than this job almost on a daily basis. - A bit cult like. No one likes being there ,but the managers spend way too much time trying to convince employees the job doesn't suck. - base pay is not even livable. - Yelp wasn't transparent about the commission structure, so I'll put it here: you have to sell $12,000 in ads PER MONTH before you get commission. On top of that, you only make $130 off of $12,000 worth of sales. I hope this puts things in perspective.
