      Company has great vision & you can make good money if you are willing to work very hard with little local support.

      Pros

      You can make a ton of money if you are willing to work for in it. You have a variety of products to sell (search engine marketing, yellowbook.com and phone book). Senior management has a great vision toward the future and what opportunities are ahead for the company and employees. Contests and rewards are given for top performers regularly. There is a great deal of flexibility for working parents when you are performing well. The advancement opportunities exist both on the management side as well as in sales--and you can go back to sales if you decide management is not for you.

      Cons

      The expectations seem unrealistic many times. In this market you are required to sell into 8 different directories throughout the year plus sell search engine marketing and yellowbook.com. Local management seems to be out of touch with the daily requirements of their sales team. Local management seems to lack the enthusiasm and support that is needed to run a successful sales environment. Communication at the local level is very poor. Our management team cannot even tell us what our local objectives are so that I know whether or not I am successful. The office environment is extremely negative with managers blaming reps most of the time.

      A job to look forward to (if you can tolerate the politics)

      Pros

      Excellant pay for hard work! This company provides ample opportunity to positively impact your compensation. Additionally, they are attempting to stay on the cutting edge of technology and marketing trends. We offer a superior product at a fair price as well as provide a "back room" support system to insure that we keep our customer satisfied. Upper level management seems to care a great deal about the reps if at times a little removed from the current obstacle that we face...Opportunity for career advancement limited only to your aspirations.

      Cons

      Low level management LAZY!!! Alot of favoritism

      Yellowbook embraces its business more than its employees

      Pros

      Yellowbook's tradition has been and still is in print advertising, but, in the past couple of years, the company has been and is working to rapidly grow its online presence. (Its recognition of the importance of "New Media" to remaining competitive in the now-Digital Age is evidenced by its recent brand update from "Yellow Book USA" to "Yellowbook" and associated campaign.) Sometimes work spaces can get noisy from interpersonal and phone meetings and discussions, but overhearing conversations can be a way to learn about what's going on in other groups. The King of Prussia office is quite small and lacks many of the "creature comforts" that the large, Cedar Rapids location has, but there is plenty of (and a wide variety of) free individual-serving coffees, teas, and cocoa. There are also water coolers throughout the building. Around the corporate center/adjacent neighborhood are decent places to take a walk at lunchtime.

      Cons

      The King of Prussia (KOP) office (scattered among several buildings) is quite small and lacks many of the "creature comforts" that the large, Cedar Rapids location has. The KOP location does not have a cafeteria, gym, or even locker room. Due to the corporate center's location, lunchtime choices are quite limited or require driving at least a few miles, and either option tends to be somewhat pricey, so most people bring their own lunch. Although well stocked for making coffee or tea, the office does not provide spoons or forks. Parking is free, but some lots get overcrowded. Inside, there doesn't seem to be enough conference rooms, so it's often a challenge to find and schedule space to hold meetings. Also, since KOP is a smaller office, there tend to be far fewer Employee Activites and Events than at Cedar Rapids, but it also feels like there are just very few at all at KOP. When a company provides or sponsors activities that helps its employees with work/life and well-being matters (or sometimes treats them to some fun) and those in managerial roles are open approachable, it helps the employees feel more balanced, satisfied, and encouraged that the company is assisting them. This has felt largely absent at Yellowbook (at least at the KOP office), leaving its employees to struggle on their own with their issues.
