Pros

-Working at Shopify opens a lot of doors when trying to find a new job -Great people and fun company events

Cons

-extremely low pay if you’ve been there for more than a year. -pay gap across teams is INSANE. I’ve seen a someone get paid $100k OTE and $230k OTE on the same team!! -no path to promotion. You can technically get “promoted” but Shopify won’t increase your pay, so it’s essentially pointless -audit process is extremely unfair. If you accidentally enter in a number wrong your entire opportunity is deleted and won’t count towards your quota. I’ve never seen a company try so hard to not pay their employees

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.
