Pros

Fun environment. Solid Health Benefits. Informal dress code.

Cons

There is a serious stigma against the company. Business owners and the public at large consider Yelp a "bully" who forces the businesses on the site to advertise. Can make sales difficult. The fun environment is lipstick on a pig. Repetitive cold calling on a small number of businesses wears heavily on the employees. Dress it up all you like, the job is mundane and the pay is low. AE's are given a finite number of workable leads. Regions to call on are small and to start are handed out randomly. Starting base is low-38k. Management is young and inexperienced. Has a "lord of the flies" feel. Sales team is mostly young and keen on office gossip. High school in an office setting.

The role can be challenging for those who are not comfortable with sales or working toward performance goals, but the training and support provided help employees succeed.
