Great opportunity that will distinguish you from your peers and change the way you think
Pros
- Very fun environment to be in, there's always something exciting - The people are fantastic - Looks great on a resume - Connections - Professional development - Clear path for advancement - You're selling THE best local advertising available to local businesses
Cons
- No control over sales territories (i.e. selling Yelp advertising is absolutely not the same in Beverly Hills as it is in Little Rock, Arkansas...yet quotas for both of these kinds territories are the same.) - A bit of a revolving door, they bring in a new sales team every few months...it kind of creates this sentiment that "you are replaceable" - As the company grows and goes public, things change...so be prepared to cope. Laptops connected to monitors have been replaced by Mac minis; wireless headsets at Junior AE level are no more; veteran jackets have been discontinued...you start and get so excited for extra perks and work hard towards them and then they are denied right as you get to the level to obtain them.
