Pros

Indeed has a really nice office and you receive free good food regularly. There is also a stocked kitchen with all the junk food you can imagine.

Cons

Your first day at Indeed they give you a shirt that says "I Help People Get Jobs", but myself and many others feel it should really say "I'll Soon Be Looking For A New Job", We feel this way for a few reasons and here they are: 1. Management: The management at Indeed does not know what they are doing and constantly harass us on a daily basis. Instead of giving us advice or assisting us with sales they find in necessary to send us documented emails that are titled "You Better Start Looking For A New (Cuss Word That Starts With a F and ends with I N G) Job". I'm not the only one who got an email like this. They are inexperienced and can't handle the stress and demand of managing a team of people. 2. Lead Generation: There is none. Indeed makes no effort in supplying their salesman with leads. The sales floor is over saturated and more then half of their team do not hit their quotas. If you have anyone to support or are looking to make money, look elsewhere. 3. Deception: Over the past month I overheard twice a manager ask someone to go on this site and write a good review because questions about their negative reviews were coming up in interviews....Sounds If you do decide to take an interview with this company you should ask the following: How much turnover do you have? How long does the average salesman stay with your company? How do you supply leads for your salesman? How is your healthcare plans? How is the management style? I hope this helps. Thank you

Pros

You get experience prospecting, presenting, and account management. Young coworkers.

Cons

Where do I begin? You think wow this job sounds great! They are relaxed and I can get some great experience. Well think again. Here is my experience: - you HAVE to prospect after work and on weekends to even have a hope of hitting your quota. Prospecting consists of having to sift through at least 10 cards and reading through them in their homegrown CRM that is crap. It is extremely tedious and terrible. There is NO lead generation and most good companies have been beaten to death. - 60 call/150 min minimum. Yes this is achievable if you call fake numbers. Don't kid yourself everyone does and the management did. Is this the best way to run a company? Emails are not tracked and are by far the best way to communicate as people are way more responsive. - Young coworkers can be fun, but it also means a lot of gossip and cattiness. - Management is completely inexperienced and terrible. There was only one good manager. The others had so many issues I do not even know where to start. There is minimal training for them so they end up just micro managing you and not acting professional. - There is no help if you need it. It is a very sink or swim mentality. Your manager is just constantly interviewing people to fill in positions. I saw around 40 people leave in less then a year. High turnover=terrible moral. There were only a handful of people that were not looking to leave when I left. -They tell you there are growth opportunities, they lie. The recruiters and managers will tell you anything to get you in the door since people quit pretty much every week. I will leave it at that. If you think you will have a different experience, you wont. My advice to you- do not think to yourself that you will get more experience here. It is better to get in a position of just prospecting and working your way up at a good company that people enjoy working for. I PROMISE you that it will be way more worth it in the end and will not burn you out like Indeed. Also these reviews are not from people who were fired or just the disgruntled, this is the unfortunate truth. Do yourself a favor if you are interviewing and contact some people over linked in and ask them what they think (make sure they have been there for over 3 months)
