      Pros

      There are a lot of great people working for Shopify and that’s awesome.

      Cons

      Shopify actively suppresses criticism of management and discussions about compensation. HR is a BS machine. They do regular layoffs so they can rehire for less.

      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.
