Pros

The NEST program to insure you have a great start to your career. Super supportive training team. Not uncommon to see employees of 20+years tenure. Overall seems like a great culture with happy employees and a great outlook because the company is definitely at the forefront of technology and industry trends. Very excited for the opportunity!

Cons

The base pay needs to be re-evaluated especially for people living in large metro areas. Needs to be a smoother transition from new hire to when you get your book of business built bc the training pay is peanuts. You must have savings to cover you for a minimum of 2 months before you accept the job because you are basically getting paid just your base pay. Once you hit premium tier, the commission structure is kind of weird in that you are incentivized to “sandbag” sales to maximize commissions.

Thanks for your feedback. We are beyond pleased with how well the NEST program is resonating with our new teammates. It is a great compliment to the best in class training program that is currently in place. We are glad to hear how excited you are for the opportunity to be here and we are excited to have you! Our Sales Planning team works hard to ensure our compensation programs are inline with the market and to give our Sales Team every opportunity to meet and/or exceed objectives, with the ability to earn uncapped commissions. We would love the opportunity to chat with you in greater detail. Please call us at 855-447-4428.

Pros

reat place to work! They truly care about their employees and create an environment where people feel supported and valued. The managers are amazing—they encourage you, challenge you, and push you every day to grow and succeed. It’s a team that genuinely wants to see you win.

Cons

I would recommend doing a little more research and qualification before passing leads over to the reps. Some leads are labeled as ‘hot,’ but after speaking with them, they often don’t have the urgency, need, or buying intent expected. A stronger qualification process would help the sales team focus their time on opportunities that are truly ready to move forward.

We completely agree that Hibu is a great place to work! We appreciate your perspective on lead qualification. Ensuring our teams receive well-qualified opportunities is important, and we’re continually working to improve lead quality and alignment so reps can focus on the most meaningful conversations. Wishing you continued success here!

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations, though we’re glad you valued the autonomy and product. We take concerns around commission structure, training alignment, and performance management seriously and are actively working to improve clarity, support, and consistency across these areas. Your input on leadership and resources is also appreciated and helps guide ongoing improvements. Thank you again for sharing your perspective, and we wish you the best moving forward.
