ZipRecruiter Reviews

Cons

The only real con here is that the company changes things very quickly without a heads up or let a keep the changes long enough for the sales team to get good at it. I have been in sales for 10 years and this is by far the easiest sales job I have ever had. The leads we get are companies that came to our website and signed up for an account where I am used to prospecting for 3 hours a day to find 5 good leads to call the next day just to try and schedule something. I laugh when I read through some of these other reviews when people say micro management, unattainable goals, bad management and stressful job. These are all excuses of under performers in my experience. People get micro managed when they are not hitting the companies minimums on a daily or weekly basis consistently so yes the company is going to make sure you do your job. Bad managers - again people love to blame other people for their lack of success. What are you doing to get better? Your manager is not going to do the work for you. If you think the goals are unattainable and you cannot change them, then come up with a strategy to get as close as you can and use the companies resources for help. Or call me crazy and read a book on sales or time management! Now my personal favorite that it's a stressful environment! GET OUT OF SALES. The beautiful thing is that each one of us is in complete control of our own success which is why I chose sales in the first place and you can either sit back and complain then blame everyone else for your failures OR you can do something about it!

Cons

-Sales job
-While I was there the sales floor was getting saturated to the point where you felt like there was a ceiling above you, there weren't enough realistic-to-close leads to go around and there was a small percentage chance you can get a promotion

Cons

I don't think I'd really count this as a con, but nothing stays the same for very long.

Org structure changes somewhat frequently so you should always keep an open mind about key functions of your job and don't get too comfortable with whatever your status quo may be.

Information sharing between departments can also be a bit spotty, just because of how often things change.

Cons

There are some communication issues between upper and middle/lower management. Lack of transparency can be trying.

Cons

Everything is always changing, managers don’t put forth the effort to inform you of where your at. New director has changed many policies making it more corporate and less about the culture and diversity I was sold on when I started working there. In my roll I felt as though my job was not important and that we were easily replaceable. Now high turn over rate due to the ever changing bonus structure and qc changes. Micro managed and serious penalties for an extra 2 minuted over a break or lunch. Short staffed especially for chat representatives. Near impossible to move departments even with good numbers and seniority. Also something with the site is always broken and majority of calls are from very upset customers.

Cons

Being a tech company change is constant, sometimes there are major communication issues between product marketing and sales.

Cons

Goals can sometimes seem out of reach.

Cons

Tons of change, some necessary. It’s called “building a rocket ship mid flight” which makes sense. CEO/ Directorial teams seem to focus more on pointless metrics to put you in a box than catering to different sales styles.

Cons

Horrible manegment. They need to fire all management.

Cons

Long hours, uncertain about longevity
