Pros

None. Sadly, I’m not kidding.

Cons

This is a corporate cult. Having an opinion different from the corporate agenda and propaganda they keep regurgitating on you repeatedly is looked down upon to say the least. Extreme extreme extreme micromanaging even though you are working remote. They only pay you for 40 hours but they try to mandate you to work after 5:00 without pay. They call it the 5 after 5. They put you through a three week long training which is basically like a military style psychological boot camp where they try to mentally and physically break you down so you conform to their requirements without questing anything because you’re afraid of being chastised. It’s like being one of Pavlov’s dogs. Extremely high turnover. 6 months is a long time to work at this place. Most people don’t make it three months.

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.
