Pros

The managers and higher ups truly care about providing the best environment for its employees and want you to succeed. -World-class training -Family environment -You can be yourself -Given all the tools to succeed -The people in the company want to change the world for the better -Product sales itself Came in with no sales experience and struggled for the first 2 months, but hit my stride month 3. You aren't going to come into this job and start making sales left and right by working 9 to 5. You have to put in the extra work and reach out to your peers from around the country to learn. You're constantly learning and bouncing ideas and how to handle objections off of your co-workers and managers. You never stop learning. After you sign up a merchant and you see them grow and doing well, it brings a smile to your face. You have to put in the work and not be afraid to work an extra day or two on the weekend especially when you first start. Can't say enough about how great the people in this company are.

Cons

One of the major cons for me is that there is no 401k company match. I think they're looking into that in the near future. Also, it would be nice if the outside offices had catered lunches every Monday for when we came in.

Pros

I love the culture of this company. We truly strive to help small businesses succeed, as well as bring back the personal service that consumers are clearly missing this day in age. Everyone roots each other on, accepts criticism, and helps each other to become better.

Cons

This job is not for the lazy. Your success really does depend on your hustle, and drive to work hard. I guess a con could be not knowing when or how to "stop working".

Pros

Independent work environment, innovative company, young/hip office culture

Cons

low compensation, weak organizational structure, lack of advancement opportunities (started in a sales position that was supposed to be temporary -- but never changed), told to cancel my Christmas flight home to work additional hours, reprimanded for being away from work on Memorial Day. There was also an expectation of pitching features that were not even available yet with the software. Had to use my personal laptop as my primary means for working.
