Pros

Kegs, table tennis, fooseball, loud music, frat house atmosphere (if that's your thing). It's a fun place to work and they do a lot of outings and things like that.

Cons

Shady sales managers that are young with little to no experience. Lots of drinking on site. Unclear professional goals. Run you ragged, burn you out, hire new employees. Call volume/metrics are more important than revenue (I can't figure that one out either, probably has more to do with poor managers). They have an extremely high turnover rate and will hire anybody off the street because they have an acceptable attrition rate. You are replaceable. I know I sound bitter, but I took the recruiters bait, hook line and sinker. I've lived in the area for a long time and I'm always running into people that have been employed there for a short period of time before either rage quitting or getting axed for no reason. They call you into a sales meeting and have your stuff boxed up and they escort you off the property according to a friend.

Pros

The dynamic and culture of this company is outstanding for employees. A fun, fast paced environment with young, hard working people. Lots of off-site events, the offices are brand new and all are up to date with kitchens, ping pong etc. If you are a new person in sales, this is an outstanding company to get some stripes on your shoulder and learn the basics of selling, hustle and closing deals. The health benefits are outstanding.

Cons

Cold calling on small and medium sized businesses is tough, and the compensation isn't that great. Don't expect to make a ton of money here unless you are the top 5% in sales. The claim is that there are tons of career opportunities, however 99% won't get above a mid level manager. If you continue on in sales, you could become a National Rep, but the transition is hard for most reps who don't have any agency experience and tend to fade out. Usually after about 2 years you'll have gotten your experience and can move on to another company for bigger $.

Pros

The training is really good at Yelp, the people are really nice and supportive. There is always a chance to move up to a higher more fulfilling role and, compensation is great when you perform well.

Cons

The culture can be a little College like at times Fratty and such. Cool people but it feels like school days all over again.
