Pros

It was a job when I needed a job and the salary plus commission was not bad.

Cons

Worked for hibu for 3 years. Laid off and I'm looking for a new job and despite years of successful industrial sales prior to hibu, recruiters tell me that I wasted 3 years by working for them and new employers do not take me seriously since I sold yellow pages. Doesn't matter what I used to do, the fact that I had to go so low as to accept a job selling yellow pages - they don't even recognize hibu as a digital marketing company. Working for hibu has poisoned me for "real employers" Run, run fast, do not get caught up in the crap highlighted in most other reviews, and take my advice, even if you need the money and take the job, it will hamstring you later when hibu lets you go. Make no mistake, eventually you will miss a month or a quarter and they will how you the door.

Pros

reat place to work! They truly care about their employees and create an environment where people feel supported and valued. The managers are amazing—they encourage you, challenge you, and push you every day to grow and succeed. It’s a team that genuinely wants to see you win.

Cons

I would recommend doing a little more research and qualification before passing leads over to the reps. Some leads are labeled as ‘hot,’ but after speaking with them, they often don’t have the urgency, need, or buying intent expected. A stronger qualification process would help the sales team focus their time on opportunities that are truly ready to move forward.

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.
