Pros

Great company culture, start-up atmosphere, free lunch on Tuesdays, and office perks such as games, snacks, beer on Fridays. The people you work with are nice, ethical, intelligent and working towards the same goal. Management work more as leaders and inspire their teams. The company is constantly evolving so you know you're representing a product that truly is the best in the market, the most innovative and will continue beating out it's competitors.

Cons

Company is going through major growth so it still needs to figure out processes and career pathing. As growth continues it's taking more time for issues to resolve than it used to. Compensation for sales people is low.

Pros

It was a really fun place to work. Most of the people I loved working with are no longer there, but I am sure there are still a lot of great people at the company. The snacks, games, beer on Friday and generally laid back, young atmosphere are great - I missed them a lot when I left.

Cons

The best people and great culture don't pay my bills. I was promised FAR more than I made. The low base & low commission just aren't made up for with the hope of future payout from stock. If you want to work at a pretty cool place and don't need to make much money, I'd say go for it. If you need to make money, in sales at least, you'll be lucky to break $75,000 and you will bust your butt to get to that.
