Pros

You can work from home so that is definitely a pro and they have great benefits.

Cons

You are expected to make so many calls in a day. It's all cold calling. Managers get a lot of pressure from their bosses and you can definitely feel the pressure trickle down.

Thank you for your review. Something we heavily focus on when we talk to folks who want to join the team is making sure we are as transparent and accurate as possible about the challenges that can be expected in sales. Cold-calling is a challenging task not just at Yelp, but in any company. Where we're different is in our training and curriculum, as well as the ongoing coaching and development we provide. Most folks find that when they stick to what they learn during their training, they can successfully connect with business owners to share the value and power of Yelp Advertising. At the end of the day, our hope is that every person feels good about the work they're doing daily, and we understand that sales may not be for everyone. We appreciate your contributions to the team and hope that you've found a role that is better aligned with your career goals.
