ZipRecruiter Reviews

Pros

Great people to work with. Intelligent colleagues and great technology

Cons

You can’t expect people to grow 20-30% quarter over quarter. You can’t make up quotas every quarter with no rhyme or reason and it’s ridiculous that the higher the quotas get, the less money we make. Also the promotion path is the worst I’ve ever seen at any organization and pigeon holes you into never making any more money. Someone go pick the brains of one of your competitors and figure out how to put together a fair comp plan that incentivizes your enterprise teams. Also stop bragging every week how great the company is doing while at the same time, again, not paying your reps for these amazing accomplishments we keep breaking. People can barely hit these insane quotas you pull out of a hat and you don’t even hit accelerators until you hit 110%. If you don’t change it soon you will likely have a mass exodus of reps.

Pros

Great pay and potential for growth

Cons

Leadership plays favorites, and is generally ingenuine when to comes to the employees. They have events and a great culture, but that is not be be confused with the fact that leaders do not care about you personally, especially if you are not a top performer. The attrition rate is atrocious. They fire employees on the 1st of every month. Management does not listen to employees when concerns are raised, especially when those concerns are in reference to supervisors, managers, and other leadership. Mangers purposefully push out people the do not like.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. The work can be hard but it can be done and it's worth it.

Cons

Most people will say that leaders play favorites but at ZipRecruiter it's a very real issues. What will get 100 people fired w/o question will get the 'in crowd' group a meeting with Directors where they discuss the strategy to actively cover up the most favored agent's actions so they don't have to be fired. It's not unheard of for certain payoffs to happen during these meetings as well like "this next month's bonus check" to make it all go away. No matter how much they work to keep it under wraps, these most favored agents eventually go out drinking with the rest of us and tell the tales. So keep your nose extra clean and definitely play the game of endearing yourself to the Directors.

Pros

You'll learn a lot, but at the expense of your mental health

Cons

The C-suite and upper management here are all straight up sociopaths who couldn't care less about the people who make up the company. Management constantly begging for 5 star reviews to try and hide the bad reviews.
