Pros

Great company culture. They draw you in with every benefit a millennial could want- 4 weeks vacation, pet insurance, promise of stock etc

Cons

It is door to door sales disguised as entry level/mid level sales. There are no territories you just pick a street and start selling. They will always be hiring because they churn and burn. Do not waste your professional time/ degree doing this.

Pros

Great entry level sales role. Fast paced environment; no time for a break. Networking Opportunities. Training in San Francisco.

Cons

Micro-management. If you don't abide by the way other work you're automatically failing instead of being taught how you could incorporate it in your own way. A product that really isn't that great. Not enough training. So much favoritism. Not enough opportunity. Zero to no work/life balance.

Pros

The best part about this company is building relationships with some great people who work there.

Cons

Everything else is BAD, you are getting paid way below market. You'll learn pretty quickly that management sucks, just look at how often VPs and heads of FiveStars has stepped down from those roles. Good luck trying to move on up, especially if you are in Sales/CS/AM. I recommend you STAY AWAY if you're in sales unless you don't mind slaving away grueling work hours for little to no pay. Product model hasn't worked for way too long now and FiveStars still hasn't figured it out, they always say they rolled out new features but every improvement turns out to be a disaster. FiveStars just doesn't care enough about the bottom funnel of their employees, ask them about their employee turnover rate. AEs at other companies are looked up upon and make good money because sales is a hard job and they deserve the uncapped commission! Here at FiveStars, they hire anyone as AEs and they leave the company just as quick as they're hired because they are not equipped to sell a platform like FiveStars. I decided to leave after watching all their best employees leave for better opportunities, told myself I deserved better. Good riddance.
