Pros

Fun people, lack of professionalism has its benefits. They throw cash spiffs around like crazy. You can make a lot of money if you excel at a short sales cycle and pressuring people into buying things that they have a 1/10 chance of making money with.

Cons

There are quite a few cons from working at Market Leader. 1.) Management is focused on top line revenue growth in the short term, at the expense of long term growth. 2.) Training is weak and disjointed. Teams change frequently. 3.) There is a boys club of guys that get better leads/promotions because they played basketball for the sales director when he coached "back in the day". But- if you DID play basketball for him, you might get a promotion to manager or team lead. 4.) The product is not the best in the industry. Not even close. You will have cancellations, and you better get a referral before they figure out how ineffective the product is. The old adage in sales is to make sure that you are giving your customer $1.10 in value for every dollar they are spending with you. At Market Leader we give about $0.60 for every dollar customers spend. Proceed with caution.

Pros

Wonderful coworkers and good culture on the Product & Engineering team.

Cons

The company as a whole is sales driven, not product or customer driven. They are not honest about what they are selling and it shows in the customer experience.
