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.

Pros

Great team and awesome community. Fantastic group of people who really care about helping small business keep up with the changing economy.

Cons

The work is pretty intense, but it's not so bad when you have a lot of great people doing it.

Pros

I have worked for FiveStars for three years. I would never imagine myself at a company for more than a year, but this place had made me feel like family from the start and has truly helped me live out their values. I have learned so much at this job that has given me professional and personal development. I am very happy to call FiveStars my family.

Cons

This is a hard-working company. We are still a startup. Nothing comes easy. it's a lot of hard work and requires dedication to be successful. If you are looking for a job where you clock in and out every day and collect a pay check every two weeks, then this is not going to be the career for you.
