Pros

During my time at Yell, I worked with a number of people who have become some of my dearest friends. The relationships I made at Yell are priceless, and I treasure the friends I made while I worked there. The training program was quite extensive, and learning about SEO was an invaluable skill I could bring to subsequent jobs.

Cons

I have 10+ years of experience as a writer, editor, and journalist, and I used exactly none of those skills what I worked at Yell. Very much a systems- and metrics-based environment. We spent most of our time working in and troubleshooting systems and "making our numbers" instead of conducting detailed, insightful interviews with customers and writing unique sites.

Pros

Incredible upside and earning potential! If you consider yourself a top performer, you will earn the money you deserve here.

Cons

It's a hard job. Lot's of rejection and grinding. Can be difficult and somewhat isolating being alone in a territory.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

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.
