Pros

Easy job, high pay for work done, benefits, easy to get hired.

Cons

Everything. From the product you will be working on to the office environment plagued by ineffective and cliqued management, there is always the fear of mass lay-offs on the office floor. Due to constantly changing pushes with the sales reps, the flow of work goes from more than you can handle to literally fighting your neighbor for a job so that your all-important productivity score doesn't go down. In the end, I got a nice bit of money saved up and fast, but it really was not worth the stress of dealing with the company or the commute to KoP.

Pros

reat place to work! They truly care about their employees and create an environment where people feel supported and valued. The managers are amazing—they encourage you, challenge you, and push you every day to grow and succeed. It’s a team that genuinely wants to see you win.

Cons

I would recommend doing a little more research and qualification before passing leads over to the reps. Some leads are labeled as ‘hot,’ but after speaking with them, they often don’t have the urgency, need, or buying intent expected. A stronger qualification process would help the sales team focus their time on opportunities that are truly ready to move forward.

We completely agree that Hibu is a great place to work! We appreciate your perspective on lead qualification. Ensuring our teams receive well-qualified opportunities is important, and we’re continually working to improve lead quality and alignment so reps can focus on the most meaningful conversations. Wishing you continued success here!

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.
