Pros

Back when I started the training program was excellent, salary, benefits great. It was a grand ole time. Keep reading.

Cons

Approx. 1-1-1/2 years later the industry changed and so did Yellow Book. The mid-atlantic region is just plain awful to their reps, it's crazy. I have read reviews by so called "real" sales reps and know they lie. In 2010 I did well financially. Putting money aside...micro managing, reports, poor management. The sales reps are responsible for everything. No one else gives a crap. The reps have to find, close, manage, maintain all accts. Management DOES NOTHING. Sales liaisons, PRIME does nothing. though IT great. Guys, there are only so many hours in a day and guess what, we have lives to. When a company goes from one extreme to another you know they are fighting for their life, survival. Fellow employees, I know you are afraid to leave your jobs because you MAY not find another one quickly. Good luck to you all.

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.
