Some financial perks could be benefitial for employee motivation

Avantages

I am writing this review 6 weeks after leaving Yelp and about 4 at my new company so I feel like I have had some time to digest, compare, and reflect on my experience. THE GOOD: People - A pro and a con, we will get to that later. I have made some of my dearest friends and amazing mentors working there. Everyone is around the same age, has similar goals as you, and for the most part your peers encourage you to succeed....

Inconvénients

***IMPORTANT*** Let the record stand that in September there was an attempted SHOOTING at Yelp in SF and NOT A SINGLE MESSAGE was sent out until 3PM three days later after employees were panicking/gossiping about it. Our stock plunged nearly 30% in Nov. Business owners were talking about it on our calls and not a single person in management or leadership addressed it. Buckle up, because there are many. ...

1. Stop promoting only white people. It's incredibly obvious. 2. Grow up -- flirting with your employees is embarrassing and unprofessional 3. Take a good look at the morality of how you're running your company. 4. Your trophy winners are quitting -- shouldn't that tell you something? 5. Stop bullying people when they choose to go elsewhere. Don't tell me I'm 'giving up' or 'if you can't be successful/happy here,...

Avantages

You can make a lot of money with the right accounts and good timing

Inconvénients

Pressure from wall street has put pressure on management to set unrealistic revenue expectations on the sales teams. While managers benefit from the law of averages, in terms of variable compensation, the majority of individual contributors are unable to meet/exceed quotas, while a minority of the team will make serious bank. Finance Operations always finds ways to move accounts around to minimize sales commissions.

Conseils à la direction

Walk the walk. Don't just talk about transparency waiting for people to speak up and face retribution for being negative. Call out the elephant in the room to facilitate honest conversation.

Avantages

Amazing work culture that allows you to quickly make friends from all over the US.

Inconvénients

Constantly micro-managed by managers.

Conseils à la direction

80 calls a day isn't effective.

Avantages

Kitchens are stocked Pay isn't terrible

Inconvénients

Making a lot of dials People complaining about reviews

Conseils à la direction

More transparency

Avantages

* Yelp is a company with a big and solid user base. Lot of traffic, lot of load, lot of things you will probably never going chance to work with and issues resolve working for a startup. * Yelp is not one of FAANG and generally speaking a medium sized business. Engineering department looks fairly lean. This mean it is quite unlikely board is going to dump hundreds of workers in the end of a year to improve financial...

Inconvénients

Most of them apply to the folks who plan to work in the office. Can tell nothing for remote folks. * You won't buy a lambo after IPO - the company is already public. * You go out and pay for your food yourself, no daily deliveries, just cafeteria and snacks. * No dry cleaning service. * No gym * No showers (critical if you're biking) * No Uber/Lift credit to get to/out of office. You pay for your transportation/parking...

How about office in Colorado?

Avantages

Great sales script. Amazing, smart managers. Great culture and recruiters really find great people to fill training classes.

Inconvénients

Not much parking close by for Scottsdale so parking a few blocks away and walking is not ideal. At least AZ is always sunny!

Conseils à la direction

Keep doing what you are doing!

Avantages

Lots of opportunity for growth as a professional. From learning how to sell, how to present to a floor, how to self diagnose, how to handle stress, etc., you have access to trainings and opportunities that can greatly impact your career. You always have access to someone when you are struggling (your manager, a top performing rep, your director, other managers, etc). When it comes to growth opportunities, there is management,...

Inconvénients

High stress job, as all sales jobs are. Some managers are on the greener side, but there has been a big shift towards manager training to fix this.

Avantages

Only have to work 40 hours/week

Inconvénients

There is a set schedule

Avantages

The benefits were really good

Inconvénients

The commission was not so great.
