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.
