Pros

Free lunch at corporate a few days a week, free lunch Monday's at the satellite offices. Young fun people everywhere

Cons

Big culture shift happening, commission cuts, new quotas, focusing more on the app instead of the controls for the end user (which is the small business owner). Sell you on FiveStars culture, but beware once training is over, very little support for how to create your daily schedule. Also pushing for IPO so there is very little work life balance will expect you to be out 7 days a week and work about 60-70 hours a week. Very low industry pay

Pros

The culture is great, CEO is humble, catered food/paid lunches some days, and if you are getting your tasks done there is free time.

Cons

The company sells you on this Fivestars "dream" where everything is great and you can make endless money. The reality is that not many SMBs are receptive (long term) to the software. There's lots of competition charging much less, which the company typically pushes under a rug. You are micromanaged based on metrics (day by day/ month to month). This is a COLD sale, so lots of cold calling and cold product demos bc you're selling something that ppl don't want or think they need. The software doesn't have the best reputation in some cities. This is more of a job for someone fresh out of college who just wants to get their foot in the SAAS world. Not recommended for a career veteran since pay is below industry average.
