Vantaggi

I worked for this company for over 10 years. It was known as Yellowbook. Good pay, great benefits. Unlimited freedom.

Svantaggi

They are killing the company by pushing the digital. Phonebooks still have a place, but the nonstop drive for overpriced websites and the expensive cost to then put those websites on Google, nobody can afford to spend 600 a month to be online and no guarantees to be found. Management, micromanaged me all day, everyday. They installed this new software called Salesforce 1, it tracks every call, every appointment so they know what your doing all the time. Constant webinars, having to email reports to my new manager everyday. If I didnt get it send right away, he was texting me. They dropped the commissions down to almost nothing, they fired my manager and my whole team. We started with 7 people, then finally down to two and now they only have one person left. If the company did what they were good at, phonebooks then they will have a possible future. But the push for digital will eventually kill the company. . What I hated the most about the company, is no matter how good you do, it's never good enough.

Vantaggi

reat place to work! They truly care about their employees and create an environment where people feel supported and valued. The managers are amazing—they encourage you, challenge you, and push you every day to grow and succeed. It’s a team that genuinely wants to see you win.

Svantaggi

I would recommend doing a little more research and qualification before passing leads over to the reps. Some leads are labeled as ‘hot,’ but after speaking with them, they often don’t have the urgency, need, or buying intent expected. A stronger qualification process would help the sales team focus their time on opportunities that are truly ready to move forward.

Vantaggi

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Svantaggi

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
