Pros

- If you're right out of college and want to get into the tech industry they will hire you for customer service positions - You will make friends as the employees are (for the most part) all good people - young atmosphere - This is fun but also a massive negative (See below) - The company is small so you can access the CEO very easily to pitch ideas. If some are implemented it can look good on your resume for your next job. - If you have a personal situation, management will listen and work with you

Cons

- Low pay - way below industry averages for San Francisco - No equity given to employees - This takes the excitement away from working for a start up. You know that if the company makes it, which is unlikely, you will see nothing in return for all your hard work - Not many real benefits apart from the standard healthcare - Very strict on PTO. They count the days and you will only get 12 max - Poor engineering investment/attitude - Engineers are all based overseas apart from one (who is new). This is to save costs and it tells in many releases - Many features advertised on their site didn't work and have had done, which, made for some tricky convocations in customer service - If you're driven you will hit the ceiling fast at this place with no where else to go within the company - Lack of investment means the company hasn't really grown in the last 18 months - not by bay area start up standards - Personally, I didn't agree with the business model and the clientele was awful to deal with - because these are the types of clients they targetted - The office is in a poor location with no windows - feels like a cave and that is draining - young atmosphere - no real experience to pull on. Felt like we were just stumbling through - lots of new competition entering the market which management never took seriously. This complacency will probably hurt them one day

Pros

Bizness Apps is a fun company to work at with tons of perks from management that truly cares about employee satisfaction. Full paid health, dental, vision, but no 401k just yet. The company is also bootstrapped with impressive growth. During my time at the company I've learned the ins and outs of the software industry quickly and then some. Tons of free food, company outings, made friends, all with exciting new market opportunities ahead. This place has serious energy. I would highly recommend this company.

Cons

There aren't really cons besides when comparing the company's perks to other start ups that have raised millions of dollars from venture capitalists. For example, theres no catered lunches like at Google or crazy Christmas parties like at Box but they make up for it a genuinely fun culture. If you're looking for a get rich quick start up this place probably isn't the spot to be, but if you're looking to learn and grow look no further. The few employees I've seen leave, leave happily onto other exciting career opportunities.

Pros

Smart, young, fun loving people working hard for a bigger goal. This is a great place to see self motivated people accomplishing tasks and growing every day, personally and as a company. There is a lot to learn about business practices (what to do, what not to do) at a company that doesn't have a corporate structure - it's live and learn here. We take work hard play hard to a new level. From 8am - 4:30pm, we work hard. After 5pm, there is no thresh hold to the fun that can be had. Work life balance is nice and your coworkers will be your friends.

Cons

With lack of corporate structure comes some downfalls. Not much of a career path set up - Management is still establishing their own career path, how could they establish other people's? Also, there is no 401k program or stock option- For a start up with less than 35 people in office, this is a pretty significant downside. With all of the competition in the bay area, it's hard to convince oneself what the long term goal of employment here is.

Thanks for your feedback and your valid points of concern. While we do not have 401k or stock options at this time we do provide compensation above market rate and provide ample opportunities to make extra money working here. Not to mention fast track raises for hard-work. Also during the hiring process we make it clear that we currently do not offer those options. If they are something you need in your career, which is understandable, we could have told you this would not be the best option for you. We appreciate the time you spent with us, good luck in the future! ** Just an update here, we do now offer stock options as well as a 401k plan. **
