Pros

The most supported I have ever felt in a workplace. They also compensate and promote based on impact, not seniority or tenure, which means hard work actually gets recognized.

Cons

Hiring and firing process can take a significant amount of time. 1-3 months to move to a new position after applying, several strikes required before someone is fired.

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.
