Pros

Good way to enter corporate America with a household name. Stock discounts can be exciting because of how buzzy PayPal can be. (Until market sees past the Will Ferrell rose-colored-glasses and realizes that PayPal is still a fintech dinosaur) Health benefits are great. PayPal is an impressive look on resumes while applying for outside roles. Comp structure is favorable for tenured reps.

Cons

Managers are extreme micromanagers, Toxic, competitive environment for career growth, You’re either moving up sales-markets at sloth speed or are competing for leadership roles with 40 other reps for 1or 2 leadership openings per year. Cannot exit sales roles as it’s extremely rare to be considered for sales-adjacent roles like enablement, marketing, etc. DEI is embarrassing. Comp structure is terrible until you’ve been there for at least a year and retain a high volume of accounts under your name that are automatically tripping. Zero effort for team building or culture,
