Vantaggi

Pros? Remote work, base salary, free company laptop and monitor to use, stipend for home office supplies, and monthly internet stipend.

Svantaggi

Cons? Extremely micromanaged. They want you to be aggressive and harass people. Yelp doesn’t work for everyone and they know it but they still want you to be pushy. If you don’t get quota you’ll be put on a path to sell more or you’ll be fired. Lots of teams constantly being moved around. Shady business protocols. Calling people who said to never call them again. Managers are constantly breathing down your back. Customers who have been burned by Yelp in the past are expected to magically turn into a repeat customer. Extremely stressful job. There’s only a handful of sales rep who actually make good money, you have to sell a ton before you make any real commission. Yelp sells you a dream that you’ll make this and that but that isn’t the reality if you aren’t one of the top senior sales reps. Your schedule will change without little notice because your teammates are constantly being switched around because people quit so often. There’s a reason why Yelp can’t keep employees, the job sucks.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that your experience was anything less than what you had hoped for. First and foremost, we have a zero-tolerance policy for unethical behavior, and our playbook has always instructed our folks to communicate our product clearly and accurately. Transparency in sales is something that we coach from the very beginning. During our interview process, we go to great lengths to set expectations about what can be expected in the role and what the day-to-day looks like for an Account Executive, as we want to make sure that everyone who comes onboard has a solid understanding of the highs and lows a career in sales can bring. Similar to other sales roles, there is certainly a large amount of rejection that's expected anywhere you do it. As you can imagine, business owners are getting tens of calls per day from many sales people all trying to sell them something different - a new POS system, advertising, better wifi, the list goes on. As such, it's expected that the initial reaction to any sales call will be 'no.' We coach our Account Executives to remain persistent, without being pushy. They do that by providing value for the business owners they speak with. That being said, one of the best parts of Yelp's culture is the fact that we take time to celebrate even the smallest of wins. Sometimes it's sending a motivational message to a teammate who just had a tough call, or celebrating a closed deal. While this environment is exciting and inspiring for most, we understand that it's not for everyone. Again, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, and we wish you the very best in your next role.
