Pros

The only pros are that it is remote work and the benefits are good.

Cons

The pay structure is horrendous. You make less than $17/hr and don't start earning commission until you've made the company at least $12k in revenue which is almost impossible. The whole company is essentially a scam and MLM. The product itself is way overpriced and underperforms in 95% of the cases. Yelp is designed to take advantage of small business owners who don't know better and to make money off of them. Those who know better call them the Yelp Mafia. Your days will be spent harassing busy people and when you are done with them, they are sent to the next rep to be harassed. Managers only care about making money off of you. This is truly the bottom of the barrel of sales jobs.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you are enjoying the flexibility of remote work and our benefits package. First and foremost, we have a zero-tolerance policy for unethical behavior, and our playbook heavily instructs our team to communicate our products clearly and accurately. Our ultimate goal is to help business owners make a positive change and successfully grow their businesses with the help of Yelp advertising. We also know that cold calling is a difficult task. Business owners receive many sales calls daily, which is why we coach our Account Executives to remain persistent without being pushy, focusing on the actual value they can provide. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible about the challenges, rewards, and expectations that come with the Account Executive position during the interview process. With that said, we focus on rewarding every person with a competitive compensation package centered on much more than just a paycheck. This package includes things like stock incentives, cash bonuses, 401(k) matching, wellness reimbursements, work from home reimbursements, mental health and wellness services, and employer-paid insurance, to name a few. We recognize that this fast-paced sales environment and our hands-on management style may not be the right fit for everyone. Your feedback is heard, and we will share it with our leadership team so we can continue to improve the employee experience. Thank you for your contributions to Yelp.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. A career in sales of any kind comes with a fair set of challenges. We focus on rewarding every person with a competitive compensation package centered on much more than just a paycheck. It is designed to support our employees' physical and mental well-being and focuses on what our employees value most, which is total rewards. This includes health benefits, 401(k) matching, paid time off programs, family forming support, and mental health services, to name a few. Each employee's story and perspective are unique, and it only makes sense that we offer benefits and perks to support every part of them.
