Pros

Everyone in the company is super helpful, and always makes themself available. Training team is awesome and they have changed it so that you have longer to ramp. Loyalty product is great and is priced at a reasonable rate.

Cons

New pay system is a great idea, but functionality is terrible, causing a lot of sales returns. They moved support from San Francisco to El Paso and the quality has gone down, causing sales staff to support merchants, taking them away from sales.

Pros

If you are successful you will make really good money. There are also a ton of opportunities for bonuses. Starting pay for outside sales reps is 40k. There is a 10k bonus opportunity if you hit quota 3months in a row and another 10k bonus if you hit another 10k in a row. This is base only now...havent even got in commission yet. If youre performing well you will be making anywhere between 80-150 a year with 150 being the OTE. everyone wants you to do well

Cons

Its a really tough and draining job. currently in fundraising season (start up life) so its a little scary.

Pros

-Once you've proven yourself (can be just a matter of months), autonomous work environment -Uncapped commission (strong reps can make $120k+/yr and the top 5 will likely make $200k+ in 2019 -Founders have strong values that permeate to the rest of the org - shared humility, authentic relationships, warrior spirit, and joy every day -Management really does care for their individual employees on a personal level -Fivestars is launching a new product in May that is going to be a game changer for the company, its merchants, and the reps who sell it

Cons

-If you do not like grinding sales in a high-volume environment, this job is not for you. You are going to be tasked with lots of cold calling to start, and while the cold calling decreases over time, it never stops. This includes swinging doors of businesses and over-the-phone calls. If you're good with doing that, then this is probably a great fit. If you feel that you are at the stage in your career where you feel above doing that kind of work, this role probably isn't the best fit for you.
