Want a Good Life? Then Steer Clear of Yellow Book

Sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are a hard-driving, born-to-sell, caricature of a used-car salesman type; then this is the job for you. Meeting your sales goals means advancement is literally months away, if you are not a minority, and the sky is seemingly the limit.

Cons

If you are a soft-sell type personality. There is no place for you in this company. Additionally, no matter how hard you work, you'll always get great words and a pat on the back, but promotions are for young white males first, then young white females, then minorities. In fact, unless they've added more since I left, top level management includes only one black male. The rest are middle to older white males - No women, No Asians, No Latinos, No Indians.

YellowBook Over Promising and Under Delivering

District sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The best reason to work for YBUSA would be when you have too much free time on your hands and too much money in your pockets. Working there is similiar to charity work. Whenever you look at the hours expected in comparison to the pay paid, you would be better off working at Wal Mart or a convenience store. I do think that working there for a short period of time (which is pretty normal at YBUSA because of the high rate of turnover) would be valuable to help a person know exactly what they do not want to do for a career.

Cons

They OVER PROMISE and UNDER DELIVER on a regular basis. The average rate of pay for someone on sales ends up being 13-14 dollars per hour by the time that you factor in how much is expected of you and the "real" amount of money made for doing the job. The turnover is unbelievable! I worked in the Tulsa, OK office which had turnover of 100% over a period of two years. Their benefits are not very good and they push their stock purchas plan on everyone. The problem is that their stock price is down something like 80% over the past year.
