Indeed reviews

I encourage all potential employees of Indeed to read every review on Glassdoor. It will save you a ton of turmoil and trials. I applied to the Account Executive position and within 12 hours I got a call from the recruiter. I asked simply questions about working conditions and the role. I was told that turnover is low and people stay with the company at least 2+ years. Also, I was told that you will hit 80k-120k your first year. This is not possible and more then half of the company can't hit their quota. According to the reviews, Indeed is quickly becoming one of the worst places to work in the Silicon Valley. I have even heard the recruiters joke about how easy it is to bring people onboard and the speed in which they leave. It is almost like a game to them. Please remember one main thing. Indeed has to sale itself to its potential employees...because the truth won't sell itself. The recruiters main intention is to sale you Indeed, so be careful...half of what they say is completely false. Turnover: After a few months, my entire training group has either been fired or left for better work...I am the only survivor and hopefully one of the companies I am speaking with picks me up soon. I have never witnessed a higher turnover for any company in my life and I have worked at some horrible places. Please...I beg of you...do not become a employee of Indeed...you will regret it, especially after you are fired for not hitting quota and unemployed. If you have a family, married or have someone to support...do not under any circumstances take a position with Indeed. It is not the place to maintain of grow a career. Management: Completely unprofessional. They like to start meetings by saying " What's up Mother F***kers? Really??? They also go around trying to figure out who posted the most recent negative review on Glassdoor. Very immature attitude, little direction and little management experience. Sales: Indeed does not provide any sales support for their salesman. No lead generation- You find companies to call. Sounds easy right? Try finding a reasonable prospect when numerous other sales reps have called them before you. 999 out of every 1000 companies is not taken, and the ones that are not taken are usually poor at best. Joke of a sales floor, I constantly look around and ask myself how did I let myself get in this situation? It's horrible...

Please take notice that all the positive reviews for indeed is for departments other then sales. Also please go on indeed.com and check out the reviews on indeed. The sales department is literally running out of people to sell to. I have been with this company for awhile and management refuses to address it as a issue. The sales department is on track to double by the end of the year. This sounds great but over the past year the percentage of sales reps who do not hit their quotas is growing at a alarming right. For this past quarter, 46% of sales reps did not hit 90% of their quota = no bonus. Current sales reps who see this....do the math yourself. There is no lead generation team for Indeed. Zero, zip...nada. Sales reps do it 100% of the time. This has lead to most of the work force calling fake numbers all day to hit this required 60 call minimum. Management doesn't bring it up because they know that you can't generate enough prospects to call 60 individual companies per day. They won't admit it though. Be aware of the recruiters. I have spoken with other sales reps and it is confirmed that they say false statements to get you on board. It's because they have to. I even over heard one recruiter laughing and making jokes on if they didn't bend the truth, then they wouldn't be able to do their job. Summary: Indeed is experiencing a over saturation of their sales territories. But they don't mind because the decision makers on top are still making money. Why would they change? Do not go into to the sales department and find a company that has stronger foundation for its sales reps.
