Pros

Mission driven company lead by a CEO that wants to build a platform for cultural change. Leadership genuinely cares and there is a big emphasis on developing people.

Cons

The company is in a hyper growth phase and trying to double its headcount in a short period of time leading to an expectation to deliver results very quickly.

Pros

- After working at a few different tech startups and being able to evaluate different management teams, the managers here are smart, actually care about you, and are always willing to go the extra mile to not only help you excel in your role but also listen and collect feedback on how you think things can improve within the org (this is huge to me and those of you who have worked under subpar management will definitely appreciate this) - You're selling a really good product that truly helps SMB owners and is superior when comparing it to other loyalty SaaS companies. The companies you're competing with (Belly, SpotOn, etc) are easy to steal from unless they've given them a 2 year long free trial which is what they're notorious for - Their price point is higher (which is a given due to better quality) which means higher commission for sales reps vs competing companies - Good perks: catered food, happy hours, fully-stocked fridge, tons of snacks, keg full of beer, full bar, and some more happy hours. Plus a nap room, gym, games, etc. - Amazing sales team that consists of a rare breed of incredibly fun and awesome people. Sales is a tough and stressful role at any workplace but people there actually look forward to going to work because they have a team that strives to help each other get better. Plus they just brought on an incredible sales trainer that will help you develop your sales skills which will benefit you tremendously in any other roles that you may end up pursing farther down the line in your career All in all, whether you're looking to start a career in sales, tech, or have tons of experience in both - this is a great company to join.

Cons

- Growth pains - Sometimes chaotic and disorganized - Structure is still being built out All of which are not rare to find within a SaaS startup that is about to go into a hyper-growth stage
