Pros

Shopify's benefits are incredible. Totally top of line, health-focused.

Cons

Because we are so rapidly growing, the management and organization is brutal. Very hard to move on, tons of nepotism.

Pros

Base pay is on the higher end for the role

Cons

The new commission structure is among the lowest in the industry. You essentially get your commission paid out in tiny increments spread out quarterly over three years. If the merchant ever leaves Shopify, or goes out of business, you leave or get fired, in that time you lose all payouts.
