Over-hyped work environment with under appreciated employees

Scottsdale, AZ

Former Employee – worked at Yelp full-time for less than a year

ProsKegs, table tennis, fooseball, loud music, frat house atmosphere (if that's your thing). It's a fun place to work and they do a lot of outings and things like that.

ConsShady sales managers that are young with little to no experience.
Lots of drinking on site.
Unclear professional goals.
Run you ragged, burn you out, hire new employees.
Call volume/metrics are more important than revenue (I can't figure that one out either, probably has more to do with poor managers).
They have an extremely high turnover rate and will hire anybody off the street because they have an acceptable attrition rate. You are replaceable. I know I sound bitter, but I took the recruiters bait, hook line and sinker. I've lived in the area for a long time and I'm always running into people that have been employed there for a short period of time before either rage quitting or getting axed for no reason. They call you into a sales meeting and have your stuff boxed up and they escort you off the property according to a friend.

Advice to Senior ManagementHire some real middle management. Just because somebody sounds hot on the phone and can sling a mediocre product doesn't mean they can manage people.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
