Pros

- Solid sales training - Fully remote - Solid benefits - Good place to get a few months of experience and then land something better; I saw it as an exhausting paid job search

Cons

- Terrible base pay - Selling terrible product (former clients universally despise it) - You won't earn commission until a few months in (they do this cute thing where you don't "unlock" commission until you book $12k in revenue) - Good luck living on $600 a week-- might as well bartend and have time to apply for a job that actually pays a living wage - Constantly hiring and firing a ton of people - Cringey, culty "culture" - Prepare to be micromanaged-- they chew you out if you go longer than ten minutes without dialing. But they encourage you to do a whole bunch of crap like listen in on past calls. Am I supposed to do this in my free time? Yeah, ok. I have a life. - Constantly ramming propaganda down your throat about how good the commission checks are gonna be (you know, one day)

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found value in our remote work environment, our benefits package, and our sales training program. We hear your concerns regarding the compensation structure, the pace of the role, and the overall team culture. Our goal during the interview process is to be as transparent as possible about the rewards and expectations that come with the Account Executive position. We also recognize that our management style at Yelp is very hands-on, which to some can feel like micromanagement. This approach is designed to provide ample support for our sales team as they practice new tactics and develop their skills, though we understand it may not be the right fit for everyone. We appreciate you sharing your perspective, as feedback like yours helps us continue to evaluate how we can best support our team members.
