Cons
1. The startup life is dynamic and ever-changing. Be flexible with new systems and processes. If you need structure and stability you may not be a great fit here. It's the nature of the growth stage and not a knock on anything other than a disclaimer. 2. The pay structure awards success but is not high. If you are looking for a job where you can kick-start your sales career and are motivated you will make money that is competitive especially if this is the first job for you coming out of college. 3. Cross-department communication. As the size of the business grows there are growing pains that are inherent. One is the ability to maintain open and continuous communication lines across the different departments i.e marketing, product development, sales, and engineering. This can sometimes inhibit the sales process as new products are rolled out. 4. Work life balance. Pressure to come in early and stay late can be a product of an open office environment. Make sure you develop a routine that allows you time to unwind and enjoy life. You can accomplish your goals in 7 hours if you apply yourself and stay disciplined.
