Indeed reviews

Lack of training: the on-boarding process for my team was not good. There are no training processes in place at all, and it's sink or swim. Lack of work/life balance: it is expected that you work above and beyond 40 hours, which wouldn't be an issue if work/life balance weren't put forward as one of the great things about the job. Be honest about what you expect from your employees. Don't just say what they want to hear to get them to sign on the bottom line. That creates unrealistic expectations on both sides. Bad management: there's a culture of throwing other people under the bus to save your own hide. The turnover is extremely high in some places, so make sure you ask how many people have done your job in the past year before you taken it (this is highly indicative of poor training and management).

I don't know who is giving Indeed such good reviews... It must be people outside of the sales organization. Once Indeed was bought out, they totally lost sight of what actually matters in sales - SALES. They are forcing all of their strongest sales reps out by letting their sales "leaders" (managers) ruin the experience for everyone. They have no long term plan and seem to take things day by day. Their sales managers, besides the ones that were promoted internally, have never sold PPC advertising and don't bring any value to the company. They are, in reality, just stat checkers who's primary responsibilities consist of micromanaging and forcing people to make 60 calls a day despite what their day consisted of or how much revenue they bring in. This forces everyone to make fake phone calls throughout the day. Literally, EVERYONE, spends hours of their day making fake phone calls when they should be focusing on selling new business and growing existing accounts. They do not care about the amount of meetings you set, amount of deals you bring in, or revenue sold. They only care about the number of calls that you make. This really just shows how they lack management experience and the ability to think logically. They promise big things to people that are interviewing, but the reality is that you will likely be fired or leave Indeed within the 1st year. Only around 5 people (out of 100's of sales reps) were promoted in my time being there which shows that it is either "up or out" at Indeed. Most of the time, it's out. This has ruined the morale. I did not know one single person that was happy working there. It's really a shame that Indeed has gone this direction. Their turnover is horrendous, but they hide those numbers by forcing people to quit by paying them off to say they resigned rather than actually firing them. Additionally, the sales managers are highly unprofessional. They corner you in a conference room so they can yell, curse, and scream at the top of their lungs. They have no idea how to motivate and instead just make everyone feel like they are not good enough. In other words, no matter how well you are doing or how much effort you put in, you should be doing better. Nobody last 2 years in sales here besides a few people recently. These people will leave Indeed in the next few months if not promoted, and Indeed could care less. If you have a good job or a job with any type of security, stay away from Indeed. Otherwise, you will just be looking for something else within the next 6 months.
