Pros

Since day 1, I have had a very positive experience. I have felt right at home since joining the company. The on-boarding process was very well executed and blew my expectations out of the water. The environment and culture boasts collaboration and team-work, which is something unlike any prior work experience. The entire team prides itself on the culture here which makes coming to work everyday very enjoyable. The work is challenging and I can feel a direct impact of my contribution even with in the first few months which has been rewarding. The company is also growing and has recently upgraded its office location. From company events to the generous compensation and benefits, I could not be happier.

Cons

None that I can think of.

For those of you reading this review, I would encourage you to spend time reading the other positive and constructive Glassdoor reviews. I would also ask you to check out the 100s of verified customer testimonials that consist of 5 star and A+ ratings on Google, Better Business Bureau, TrustPilot, Facebook, among others. We are very proud of the work we do and the impact we have on thousands of small businesses every year. Our team is the best in the business. We love what we do and we work really hard to create and maintain a positive and collaborative culture and work environment. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do to address an unconstructive review like this one except point you to other verified ones across the web that can give you a better and more accurate description of who we are. Thank you, Justin Bakes, Co-founder & CEO

Pros

You work in a team environment. Everyone is there to pick you up. It has a fun start up feel in the heart of Boston.

Cons

Sales is a position based off the numbers. You need to preform to succeed. However, they certainly prepare you. It is all up to you.
