Pros
- So much opportunity. Whether it's from a personal, professional, or financial standpoint, there is so much you can achieve at this job. If you can prove to the CEO that there's a job that needs to be done and you're the person to do it, it's yours. I've seen it. I've lived it. And there's so much more room left to grow. - The culture is second to none. The fact that so many cool people from such different backgrounds have come together in this environment feels like a gift that I am grateful for everyday. And it's authentic. It's truly something special. - Open office environment means that people who have been at the company for months sit right next to the CEO. You can make eye contact with anyone on the executive team, and they welcome your input and your story. - Your contribution is not only necessary, but felt, recognized, and appreciated. Even in a sales position, you feel connected to your work and your team is here to support you and raise you up with them and ride the waves when they're not so great as well.
Cons
- Cash-strapped start-up means you're probably not going to get your dream salary initially, but as a sales guy, we all know the real money is in commissions, which are friendly and achievable. - Sometimes you get stuck at work for longer than planned because either you're enjoying yourself or you're sucked into a fun conversation or basketball game with your coworkers.
