Pros

As in most sales jobs you have more freedom. They provide an intensive three week training off site that provides a good stepping stone. They are moving towards more of an ad agency model

Cons

They are followers in the industry, not leaders. They have expanded product offerings but too little and way too late. In most markets they are not the #1 print book used, in some cases by a long shot, and shrinking the book doesn't appear to have changed that much. Upper management is the white boys club although I believe most of the salesforce is composed of women. Just guessing that but it is sad nonetheless. This company has for years been about getting bigger and not better. You are but a number in a huge corporation that is about the bottom line. Your happiness, future success, like in all huge corporations depends on your local management. YB can be the best or the worst place on earth depending on the market and who they are.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
