Pros

There is nothing good about this place. RUN AWAY FAST!!!

Cons

The Atlanta office specifically but also the entire company treats employees like crap and they constantly threaten you about your job being taken away. The Management is completely incompetent and corrupt. There is blatant retaliation that goes on from the CEO down. They will force you to lie to clients in order to save face and then blame failures solely on you. Worst of all THEY DO NOT PAY PROPERLY. I had to have countless meetings with management and finances that took months only to find out that they were shorting me over 15K in commissions. I was threatened not to ask questions and when I finally had enough and contacted HR. The HR rep fired me the same day and said it was due to the economy. If you are serious about your sales career STAY AWAY FROM TABOOLA!!! For the amount of mental strain and toxicity you will have to deal with on a daily basis it is better ti be unemployed and wait for the right opportunity. I did as well as you could possibly do working there and I still had to deal with extremely unprofessional behavior from management that I was told to just deal with. If you have any self respect you will never apply for this company and if you work there and are reading this I pray you find a new destination soon. They will overwork you and under pay you and stress you out along the way and you will not become more skilled at your profession because there is no one in management that is competent in sales.

Pros

1. Generous benefits, pay is not too bad for someone new to the industry. 2. beautiful working space full of food, snacks, drinks, etc 3. Basically, the corporate want to make sure you are comfortable at work and have all the required gadgets 4. CEO is ambitious, highly involved, and actively seeking out new directions for the company instead of sitting on the native market they already dominated

Cons

1. Your personal experiences are highly related to the team you are on. 2. Some managers, who I am not sure if this is a culture or langauge issues, often sound condescending. Whenever you ask questions, instead of providing instruction, they will use rhetorical questions and leave you even more confused. Some like to blow things out of proportion when they disagree with your work. 3. Sending work messages 24/7 for nonurgent issues every day, even if you say 'not expecting you to reply,' is still pressure, especially coming from your direct manager. 4. The company pays hella amount of attention to their online reviews. They have people rolling out a food cart to encourage people leave comments/reviews online. I see this as both good and bad. Good because the employer does care about employee feedback, at least seemingly. Bad because you only need to PR this hard when things are not doing good. 5. Mandatory days at the office are Mon, Tues, and Thursday instead of letting you choose the days. Make you feel like a kindergarten kid when you have such limited freedom for your own schedule. 6. Toxic behaviors are tolerated
