Pros

-If you can learn to sell at Yelp you can probably be successful anywhere -You'll probably meet some cool coworkers and make friends -Hiring managers at other companies know that Yelp is a grind so having Yelp on your resume will open doors for you in your future career

Cons

-This job is very hard. High pressure, terrible product, calling people that have said no hundreds of times before. If you don't have a thick skin, you will develop one. -Don't let the crazy managers make you feel bad about yourself. Some managers are good but many are bad, and sales directors are completely out of touch. My advice is do your best, make your dials, don't take anything personally, and DISCONNECT from work when you're not working. -DO NOT stay longer than 2 years. Pivot from Yelp into an actual tech company and start building your career. Staying long at Yelp is a waste of time because tech companies don't even consider Yelp to be real sales.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and perspective from your years at Yelp. We’re glad to hear you valued the sales skills and resilience you built here, as well as the connections you made with your coworkers. We recognize that sales at Yelp can be a tough, high-pressure environment, and that cold calling is especially challenging, no matter where you do it. At Yelp, our management style is intentionally hands-on to provide as much support and coaching as possible, but we know this may not work for everyone. We encourage healthy work-life balance and want all employees to feel confident in disconnecting and taking care of themselves outside of work hours. Thank you again for your candid input and contributions during your time with us. We wish you continued success in your sales career and beyond.
