Pros

--Growth mode --Great concept --Website/company growing rapidly --Great training --Effective advertising --Company not going anywhere but up --Intense sales atmosphere --Excellent location in the heart of Scottdale.

Cons

--The place is run by kids. All your peers are in their early to mid-twenties, who think they know it all. --You will be overworked and underpaid, resulting in burnout and turnover. Think 12 hours a day for a little over $30k/year. --Management and HR make you feel like you should be blessed to have a job there. Therefore, you should never turn down a request...and you should smile while doing everything as you're told. --Lack of racial diversity, especially in the Scottsdale location. --High pressure environment. If you don't hit your targets, you will be cut loose, before and after the 60 day trial period. --Incompetence is rampant from the top down. --They are seeking to the perfect "applicant", which begs the question, why is there a 60 day training period if the applicants have to know the Yelp sales pitch down to a 'T' prior to coming onboard?

Pros

The culture, opportunity for advancement and the training program

Cons

The position can be stressful. Inside sales is not for everyone. You definitely need to WANT sales to work here

Pros

Amazing environment reflective of internet company culture - game room, fun floor, sofa rooms, vibrant decor Firm and consistent expectation of individual contribution, coupled with growing methods of recognition Great personalities - I like who I work with Open lines of communication between management and employees; continuous leadership/professional development training for management and select non-management employees Stellar benefits, including gym subsidy and paid sick time Freedom to take on additional responsibilities/opportunities as desired or requested; very Darwinian, go-get-it attitude

Cons

Food/snack selection, creativity, and deliciousness is quickly diminishing - it's the same stuff every week & it's not exactly the Ritz... Big decisions are made without context, or with little explanation - growth/direction is feeling secretive to the 'average' employee No formal evaluations or structured methods of peer recognition - it's all ad-hoc Disparity between departments (sales, engineering, ops, etc) Quick growth = less personalized experience
