Pros

Great product and employee benefits, including lifestyle spending and insurance

Cons

There are very limited opportunities for growth unless you're well-connected with senior leadership or engage in internal politics. Layoffs occur every quarter, creating a constant sense of job insecurity. The company culture is minimal—working remotely feels isolating, with little to no team spirit. Sales targets increase each quarter, and commissions are becoming increasingly difficult to achieve.

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.
