Pros

The initial interviews were good and the job seemed promising but when you were sent to training it was completely different. New hires should know that they are not really hired until they have completed the 3 week corporate training course. The corporate trainers are still evaluating the candidates - you are still in the interview process!

Cons

The corporate training is 3 weeks long. On the first day you are advised that you are still in the interview stage and must meet all the companies criteria during training to move forward and work as a Yellowbook Media Consultant. Training should be a place where candidates can ask questions, discuss issues and learn...it should not be a place where you feel your job is on the line. The corporate trainers have to much influence on whether a candidate succeeds or fails. Training should not be part of the interview or evaluation stage...it should just be training!

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.
