Business outlook
Pros
They have a very solid and professional initial sales training. Somewhat flexible hours. Strong compensation plan for new business revenue. Surprisingly very talented and diverse sales backgrounds throughout the office.
Cons
It has become the stereotypical "meat-grinder" of a job. Yellowbook has been a fantastic place to work over the years, with the emphasis on "has been". The lack of foresight in realizing how quickly the market was changing from a print-internet emphasis was stunning, especially in a major media market like metro Washington DC. The substandard training for internet advertising combined with the lack of requisite tools (ie, laptops) has greatly contributed to the demise of morale.
