I have been working at Yelp as an intern (Less than a year)
Pros
Unparalleled experience. The community manager is basically your mentor. Knowledge is unlimited in this job and can open many doors if taken seriously.

I worked at Yelp full-time
Pros
Free food, free coffee, endless hang ups and blaring techno music to make you slowly go crazy...
Cons
Where to begin....they will brainwash you and drinking the kool aid is an absolute must. The office is run by 25 year olds who have only had one job in their life and that's Yelp. Among the vast 22 year old AEs you will find a handful of actual adults trying to do their job. You will work your butt off and they won't care. They will find a way to dock your commission when their product doesn't work and business owners cancel. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR 'PITCH' ON WHY YOU SHOULD WORK FOR YELP. YOU SHOULD SPEND YOUR TIME FINDING A REAL COMPANY THAT WILL GIVE YOU TRANSFERABLE SKILLS.
Advice to Management
Get a grip- not everybody buys what you're selling. You take advantage of your employees and management is a glorified babysitting role- get over yourself.
