Good for resume building
Web Content Writer (Former Employee) – King of Prussia, PA – July 8, 2018
This company is good to get your foot in the door for a career in copy or web design. You learn pretty quickly on proper SEO and web design. They have aggressive goals and if you don't adapt quick, you won't last long here. Stay here for the experience.
Pros
SEO knowledge and web design courses
Cons
Job security
Continuously learning!
Account Executive (Former Employee) – Covina, CA – June 28, 2018
I learned to cold call effectively and close deal with the right tools as well as the efficient programs that are needed. The culture is team driven and continuously improving. The hardest part of the job was the competitiveness however I enjoyed helping customers benefits from the advertising we provide.
Low pay Micromanaged
Digital Marketing Specialist (Current Employee) – King of Prussia, PA – June 21, 2018
This company offers low pay, poor work life balance, and you are micromanaged to death. Not much on the upside for a sales rep here other then training.
Pros
Work remote
Cons
Work life balance, micromanaged
Fun workplace
Digital Marketing Specialist (Current Employee) – Cedar Rapids, IA – June 13, 2018
strong work ethic with hard working employees. They strive to help you succeed and really try to help their clients.The overall company model is above average.
Pros
Paid holidays, weekends off
Cons
Over exerting work loads at times
Ehh
Senior Collector (Former Employee) – King of Prussia, PA – May 22, 2018
I worked in the collections department, so not sure what to say outside of it was a collections department. By nature this is not the happiest place to be.
Pros
There was a dining hall on site
Cons
The food wasn't good.
Stressful Production Environment
Cog (Former Employee) – King of Prussia, PA – May 17, 2018
You can clock out at the end of the day and leave your work behind if the daily production quotas don't stress you out. During the work day if you give them 10 jobs one day than they expect you to do 15 the next day. Overall the management is inexperienced but there are a few excellent managers in the rough.
Pros
Good place to get your foot in the door
Cons
Always kinks production flow and they tend to do things the hard way
No room for growth or advancement.
Marketing Internship (Former Employee) – King of Prussia, PA – May 17, 2018
friendly work environment for most teams but some, not so much.
No room for career advancement,and senior management not transparent with employees. It seemed that management worried more about how to make money quickly than the long term goal.

Pros
WFH opportunity
High stress and low pay
Account Executive (Current Employee) – Memphis, TN – May 6, 2018
The company has restructured and let many managers go and now have changed the commission plan with the sales reps and have made it impossible to make what we were previously making. They micro manage you to deaf and have you make so many calls a day and get so many appointments that it stresses you and now there is no joy in this job.
Was a productive position until downsizing
Account Manager (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – April 30, 2018
Hibu was a good place to work but they fell behind with technology and stayed with the paper phone directories too long. Hibu's transition to digital media was too little, too late.
Pros
Had a stable customer base, base and commission
Cons
Fell behind with technology/stayed with paper directories too long
Good people, but the job got old and pay decreased.
Account Manager (Current Employee) – Cedar Rapids, IA – April 30, 2018
First year was great, but they changed a lot of their lead sources and pay decreased as the leads were not as “hot” as they previously were. Love all of my coworkers as they are great people and fun to be around each day, but my pay is significantly less than it was a year ago because of the commission structure.
Fairly causal and great co-workers
Designer (Current Employee) – Cedar Rapids, IA – April 28, 2018
A company that is continually evolving with the times and a great asset to small businesses. Leading the way for companies to have accurate and up to date information on the internet. Great benefits for it's employees. Casual atmosphere unless you are in the sales department.
Joined a Yellow Page advertiser as they transitioned out of their core business
Outside Sales Representative/Account Manager (Former Employee) – Rochester, NY – April 27, 2018
Hibu was Yellowbook when I started. They were known primarily as Yellow Page advertisers. With the advent of the internet and Smartphones in particular fewer and fewer people used yellow pages. Hibu tried to rebrand them elves and position themselves more as an internet and direct mail advertiser as well as a web-site developer.
Pros
Loved helping small businesses create ads and websites.
Cons
Trying to overcome the Yellow Page stigma was challenging
Hibu project failed
Publication Manager (Former Employee) – King of Prussia, PA – April 12, 2018
They started a project and failed.
It's hard to go into the words here because they laid off a hard-working staff after failing to provide help with the publications they created.

Hibu is a good place to work
MANAGER (Current Employee) – PA – April 7, 2018
Hibu is a good place to work. You get to work with great people. You sell cutting-edge digital products. The company is a leader in websites and social media.
Pros
Digital marketing
Cons
No advancement
Wouldn't Reccomend
Online Marketing Specialist/ Inside Sales (Former Employee) – King of Prussia, PA – April 4, 2018
The company had a rigid time structure. The was no flex to your schedule and you had to stay in your cubicle. The management was very out of touch. Other employees complained about the leads, but that wasn't the problem; it was a lack of brand awareness.
Hibu was a great company
SEO Analyst (Former Employee) – King of Prussia, PA – March 27, 2018
Hibu was a great company to work for as they allowed room for advancement and provided a lot of training. The culture was positive and management was all very willing to help you get through your work.
