Pros

Shopifolks are in general great.

Cons

Management has gotten worse and worse over time. Not sure if it's a general thing now, but I used to have a great manager, then it came a new manager that loved to micro manage and do busy work and give us "busy work". They wouldn't leave us in peace to do our job. It was most stressful experience I've had in a work environment. Micromanaging. Senior leadership is just terrible. a bunch of mi-bilionairs thar lost touch with reality.
