Pros

Their sales training will teach you how to be a hunter

Cons

Where to begin.... First off, if I can give any advice, do NOT work for this company as an AE (I can't speak for other departments) for the following reasons: -Incredibly low pay, and no potential to make solid commission. -In comparison to other 'tech' companies, their pay is at the very bottom -Will do anything they can not to pay you for what you worked/deserve - they expect you to work 40+ hours, but will only pay you for the bare minimum -Some individuals of upper management lack social skills and compassion. They are absolutely ruthless and have no rationality. -Your set up for failure - the territories are so over worked, no one wants to hear from you -They say they connect people to great local businesses...well, they completely forget what 'great local businesses are' - they expect every business to use Yelp, even if they do not fit their mission statement -Ultimately, you'll be over worked, stressed, and set up for failure in exchange for a non liveable income.

Pros

If you love your city, it can be very fun. Remote work is helpful and you'll make great relationships with fellow community managers, who are typically wonderful people.

Cons

As others have said, upper management is extremely out of touch with reality, including the realities of small businesses post-COVID. Pay is very under market for the level of work. Values are consistently preached but only selectively honored.

Thanks for sharing your experience after spending so many years on our team. We agree that connecting with your city and working alongside wonderful fellow Community Managers are some of the best parts of the role. We're also glad remote work was helpful for you. Favoritism and gossip don't align with the environment we want to create. We want everyone to feel valued and supported as a person. We also want to uplift team members who want to explore roles in other departments. We have many amazing opportunities across Yelp, and we encourage people to pursue the work they care about most. Your feedback helps us grow, and we will share your notes with our leadership team so we can keep making Yelp a better place to work. Thanks for all your hard work over the years, and we wish you the very best in your next role.
