I love this stuff.. Jim Mccusker was a one year wonder as a sales rep and went management because he knew that was the path for someone who lacked real talent and effort.. He forged sigs to get sales in an era where they were seeding books.. Meaning giving away ad space in hopes they would see value after that year and possibly spend money the next year. Too be fair to Jim he was a no talent used car salesman before he joined Donnelly which later became YB.. Jim McCusker would rise to District Manager in Philly where he let shady things slide to win a Presidents award trip.. it was here that he started using his power to sleep with the 20 something’s that worked for him. Yes, I can give names Jim! Since you are posting here clearly not as yourself… YB really became a good ole boys network with each exec having dirt on the other… I love seeing these post that Jim was popular. Actually, Jim was the only one that thought he was popular.. everyone I know called him a sleazy unethical person.. Joe Walsh too! Jim would come to different offices to speak and everyone would roll their eyes and joke at how every presentation he gave would always take a turn and spotlight himself.. Anyway, the Yellowbook leadership who is now mostly gone is gone for a reason.. They enriched themselves, screwed over the thousands of loyal employees, screwed over the advertisers and steered every company they ran towards bankruptcy.. Good reddens boys!

Paalease. I was a manager in one of their bigger markets. My bosses were former McCleod managers who had previously worked for small independent yp companies. They were little Hitlers. I ted.how they treated people. Idiots making big money. And McCusksr was a used car salesman. Snake oil. It doesn’t work.

I worked for Yellowbook for 12 years. I learned that Joe Walsh was nothing but a FAKE! He had the ability to con many. He was not loyal and not trustworthy. At first he was great, then developed the big head! Jim McCusker was a cocky car salesman. The company lost sight of the human factor (those who helped build the business). They who took down other are learning the true meaning of “you reap what you sew”. Yellow page industry is dead!

I worked at Yellowbook / Hibu for over 11 years and a different publisher for 7 years prior to that. . Last March “my position was eliminated”. This happens to be the exact same month that Mike Pocock gave himself a $160,000 raise. When Joe Walsh ran Yellowbook USA things were great! Joe is a genuine, natural leader. Jim is also a great leader. Yellowbook started it’s demise with the departure of Joe and took an even steeper drop with the firing of Jim. Mike Pocock? Really? The same Mike Pocock that nearly drove Polaroid in the ground while personally walking away with millions? Ludicrous! This guy should be in jail!

In my 14+ years with YellowBook/HIBU I saw many great changes and many poor decisions made by management. Overall, I felt Joe Walsh cared deeply for the company and it’s employees. He was very approachable and worked hard to improve our market share versus print giants like DEX, Verizon and AT&T to name a few. Jim McKusker trying to buyout US was likely an attempt to save the company before they went down in flames!

The past several years saw the company become top heavy with management and less emphasis on quality sales, poor product testing and an overall decline on client focused services. I agree with most negative comments made by others however the real problem comes back to a simple fact: consumers aren’t getting information from directories or IYP websites. Consumers generally go to the best sources of information like Google, BING and product sites like Amazon, Overstock and others. The last 5 years I sold for HIBU, I did not use the yellow pages a single time for any reason! The product is simply obsolete!

Kudos to the two disloyal employees. They were probably really fired for being honest with customers. That is a big no no at hibu/YellowBook/YellowBook AntiUSA.

YellowBook AntiUSA changes its name so much because they screw up all the time and hope that if they change the name you will think it is a different, more competent company. It never is a different, more competent company but instead the same lying, cheating, America hating, greedy company it has been since the move to King of Prussia.

YellowBook USA was a awesome company!… until they moved to King of Prussia, PA and started a partnership with a UK based company called PindarSet. PindarSet is a company that takes pride in sending American jobs to Bangalore, India. Once PindarSet began allowing people that do not understand the english language properly, the advertisements in their directories started to suffer tremendously. I have seen Italian Restaurant advertisements with pictures of Chicken Lo Mein in it because they people in Bangalore, India didn’t understand that when the customer requested a picture of noodles for a Italian Restaurant required something more along the line of Spaghetti. This type of mistake is rampant in YellowBook USA/YellowBook/hibu. The management at PindarSet and YellowBook USA/YellowBook/hibu (or whatever they call themselves now) is the worst management I have ever seen. They care nothing about their employees or customers. All they want to do is make money. This is understandable with a large company, but this company wants to make money at your expense. When you look at the economy and the unemployment you should look at companies that love giving American jobs to Bangalore, India. Companies like YellowBook USA/YellowBook/hibu and Pindar Set. They are a scourge on the American people.
