Pros

Reasons to work at hibu include a decent benefits package (includes health, dental, and 401k). The people you work with are pretty great as well, they know how to put together a team for the most part. There is always someone there to answer any question you may have, about any whatever you may be wondering about. They are very eager to make sure all of your questions are answered and will go above and beyond to get you those answers.

Cons

A lot of the systems they have in place, along with a lot of the policies and decisions they make do not make sense. Everything that's done there seems to be done against everyone's better judgement. There is a disconnect between the employees who are doing things day in and day out and the upper management who are mostly just concerned with production numbers. I fully understand that businesses make their money based on those numbers, but to ignore every other circumstance that goes into those numbers, and the consequences that come from undervaluing the quality of the work you are putting out is extremely short sighted. The web product is the future of the company, not the dying print side. To gut and outsource the jobs of the people working in that department in the states is a costly mistake. I worry about the future of a company that would be so short sighted in their actions

Pros

Incredible upside and earning potential! If you consider yourself a top performer, you will earn the money you deserve here.

Cons

It's a hard job. Lot's of rejection and grinding. Can be difficult and somewhat isolating being alone in a territory.

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.
