Pros

Fully remote work setup Solid benefits package Reputable product with clear value to customers Good entry-level exposure to SaaS sales Some supportive colleagues doing their best in a tough system Really nice office if you prefer in person

Cons

If you have real sales ability, think carefully before joining. I’m on the Inbound team, and it’s been a difficult experience. Turnover is extremely high most reps either quit or are let go. Even experienced sales professionals are surprised at how unbalanced and unsustainable the setup is. Compensation is a major problem. Inbound targets are significantly inflated company-wide attainment was extremely low last year, with some months dipping as low as single digits. That is much lower than I was told in the interview process. The volume required just to stay on pace is excessive, and commissions are minimal relative to the effort expected. This role might be suitable if you’re early in your career and need to build your resume, but it’s not a viable long-term path for most. The environment is high-pressure, low-reward, and built on expecting you to churn. To make matters worse, Outbound reps earn substantially more even though Inbound consistently has lower attainment, suggesting it’s the more difficult role. If significantly fewer Inbound reps are hitting targets, it’s clear where the heavier lift is. Also targets are 4x. Outbound, to their credit, hits numbers with ease and often works leads that Inbound has already contacted. No fault to them, but the pay gap is hard to justify and to stomach on Inbound side. Management is fully aware of this, yet little changes. Tension between teams is growing, morale is low, and the overall structure feels built to cycle people out instead of setting them up for success.

Pros

Not a single positive during my time at Jobber

Cons

- Leadership has ZERO strategy to compete against the other players in the market. - Way too many convoluted processes that slow everyone down - They will recruit you from another company and then let you go with absolutely no notice or reason

Pros

It's really a great business with a great product and product reputation. Work life balance is good. Honestly, I don't even mind the RTO mandates as long as it stays hybrid - the Toronto office is great. Some of the home-made tools being developed to speed up development with AI are actually pretty neat.

Cons

The culture in Engineering is turning really sour. I get the impression they're slowly trying to eliminate the People Manager role, which is "fine" until you realize that they have no interest in helping you grow and advance your career here. It's really sad to see, especially for those of us earlier in our careers who do want to move up and stick around long enough to see ourselves AND the business grow. They're trying to eliminate 1-1s under the guise of productivity and shipping out faster and getting managers more involved in dev work. And it does not look like the managers have much of a say. For the most part, you're seen as a replaceable code/feature monkey. Turnover is increasing, especially with those tenured, senior folks, and I don't think they care. Another issue I've ran into is the varying skill level of engineers. There are great engineers here. But, there are some engineers here who just entirely vibe code. And that behaviour is highly encouraged and seen as "impactful" in some teams. Well don't come crying when incidents have increased over the last 6 months then? To be fair, it is entirely team-dependent and some teams have a higher calibre, some lower.
