None which are worthy of complaint

If you get lucky and you like your coworkers, the day to day is bearable. You will be busy enough that you won’t be bored.

-No real HR department to go to with concerns. The HR director is married to the owner, and I did not feel that there was a way to express concerns about the company, in part due to that conflict of interest. -Unrealistic expectations. The owner expects you to be as invested in the company as he is, meaning you should WANT to spend your free time on weekends and after hours doing extra stuff for work. -The software you are selling is not functional. Be prepared for angry customers, and know that you probably will not be able to help them. Updates frequently down the entire system, and marketing efforts pushing a new feature regularly begin before that feature is even functional. -If you’re a good employee, you’ll be expected to pick up the slack for less productive employees-to a level beyond what I would consider acceptable. The hiring and firing here makes no sense; the people who contribute the least have managed to hold on to their jobs for way too long, while others have gotten fired with no warning for petty and trivial reasons. -The raise/bonus system is not really a system at all. Not much of a schedule for when a performance review may happen other than just when they get around to it, and a further delay after the review in getting them to discuss a pay raise at all.
