Hey, thanks for the review. 5 years is a long time, congrats! Thank you so much for leaving such a kind review. It's great to know that after so many years here, you still have a passion for your work and are so enjoying the challenges that come along with it. If you notice things like this happening, people putting themselves before the team and then having the team suffer because of it, I would urge you to reach out to your team lead immediately. This behaviour is not fair and it is not tolerated. I understand it can be a sensitive topic to bring to a lead, so if you'd feel more comfortable, you can always reach out to your HR representative directly to express your concerns. They would be happy to investigate further. Thanks again for the kind words, here's to many more years!

Hey, thank you for the review! I agree with pretty much all your points here. The people here are sometimes the best part of the job, and when creative people get together to problem solve, things can get exciting! What you've said here about having the ability to make a real difference in entrepreneur's lives, this is the core of what we do. Making commerce better for everyone is our missions, and it's amazing to have someone like you on board who truly understands that! As we are growing so fast, it's natural that there will be growing pains. We've taken steps to ensure that we are as anti-fragile as possible so if changes come, we can weather them and keep the quality of our teams intact. I can pass your feedback along to the team internally, you've made some great points here! Transparency is important the more we grow, we all need to be on the same page. Thank you again for taking the time to post a review!

Hey, thanks for leaving a review! It's important to know that when accepting the Support Advisor position, this may be your role for quite some time and that it should not be used as a stepping stone to other roles within the company. When first starting out, we invest a lot of time into training, mentoring and instilling a growth mindset into everyone here. The hands-on experience you will gather in this role over time is so valuable and incredibly beneficial to our merchants in helping them succeed. Solving their problems is an essential part of the role, but if you do feel like you're looking for something more challenging, our escalated teams are always growing. I'm sure you can find the right role for you soon! It's really lovely to see that you put helping small businesses down as a Pro in your review! That is the essence of what we do here: make commerce better for everyone. Thanks again for leaving your review!
