Pros

Indeed feeds their employees well and their are generally good people who work there. You can look for a new job while your working because management wont be able to tell the difference

Cons

Sales for Indeed can be summarized in one word "Unstable". No one stays lasts for more then 8 months. This is due to a few reasons. 1. There are no leads for you to pursue and management has no plans on changing things up to make it easier for their salesman to generate leads. 2. You are highly micromanaged and must make unrealistic call quotas of 60 calls every day. If you hit 59 calls and leave for the day, you can bet that you will come in the next day and have a angry and threatening email waiting for you from your team lead. My threatening letter said " Don't you ever make less then 60 calls in one day or you will be busy finding a new job...I will make it my goal that your A** is out of here instantly". This was my second week and I was one of many who received this type of treatment. Also you are publicly criticized and humiliated in front of your sales team when you do no reach a goal or don't show up to the company happy hours due to family reasons. 3. Management treats hiring and firing like a checklist process, no emotion and no thought towards growing peoples careers. It is a very transnational process and the recruiters are kept busy to keep up with the horrible turnover. 4. It's pretty much like high school all over again. 5. The quotas for salesman are ridiculous. More then 60% of the sales force dont hit their goals and management can't understand why. 6. No one earns real money. The recruiters love to say you will earn 80k-120k your first year...don't believe it. Out of my training class of 10 or 9 there is only 1 left after a 8 month time frame. 7. Management favoritism equals the amount of leads you are given. if you are a great salesman but your manager doesn't like you are you don't go out with him to drink ect....they will give leads to the anyone else but you. 8. Management is clueless on how to fix the problems that exist. I asked a senior director himself on what they are planning on doing on fixing any issues. He starred at me for about 5 seconds and then shrugged his shoulders. They have no plans or ideas that are going to make a significant impact. If you have a family to support or are barely making your bills joining Indeed will only make things worse. I promise you. Disregard the reviews from client services or any tech positions, they are seriously skewing their Glassdoor score. if the other departments reviews were not taken into account they would probably have 1 or 2 stars on here. "Unstable"

Pros

Pay structure is pretty good, although flooding the sales floor with inexperienced children makes it harder and harder to hit quotas

Cons

Go find an Indeed Sales Director job posting. Requires 7+ years sales experience and 3+ years management experience. There is not a single director in the CT office with anywhere close to that. Directors treat sales people Iike children and, even though they have never done the job themselves, talk as though it is simple. Zero motivation. Even the top sales people hate the place.

Pros

Met some great friends ... learned some crucial account management skills. Free coffee and bagel Friday was good

Cons

Underpaid in the silicon valley (we are talking 20-30K for same positions elsewhere). Be weary if you're 3-5 years out of college, keep looking around. In fact you're better at a start-up where maybe things are risky but they are more exciting and you will have bigger pay checks. Not a typical internet company. Same exact day everyday, no change. Very stale for such a young company in the SV. *Important note: This company is HQ'd in CT, NOT California. So if you are looking for that typical Silicon Valley experience, this isn't the place to get it. This company is VERY "Butt in Chair 8-5" not flexible with doctors appts, etc. Some managers have you "make it up." In addition; if you want to be paid hourly in your late twenties, work here! Many of the team members had their salary switched to hourly b/c of their job description. Be weary and ask if you're interviewing. I have to admit I was there probably in their worst year for California. Too much negative change or non-change at once. I have a good feeling they will turn it around in 2014. There were poor management issues but I have heard they have fixed 90% of them. Mostly too many people far to "green" in their careers to have a team of their own. No real inspirational leaders here. In addition: there is NO fluidity working with other teams. Customer feedback almost always goes unheard b/c non engineers are not encouraged to pass on comments to product/engineering team. LinkedIn is always a threat and while Indeed may have quantity in audience, LinkedIn has quality. The product at Indeed is good but long term there is no social, how will it last when Gen Y gets job hungry? Bottom line; if you're hungry, if you're ambitious, and if you want an exciting career - think twice before accepting your underpaid offer here. Did you graduate this past year? Work here a year and then leave. It will be fine - but make sure your manager is 8-10 years older so you have a strong mentor and leader and someone who will change your life ! Always interview your manager! Huge advice and something I regret not doing with Indeed.
