Pros

Salary is very negotiable, they HAVE to pay for talent because all their talent is gone Benefits are nice Quarterly trips all expenses paid to chicago New Iphone and macbooks for outside reps

Cons

Company is fighting a losing battle and constantly short changing the sales reps on their hard earned commissions. Merchants know the product doesnt work anymore. There is little to no repeat business on the merchant end.

Pros

- Fast-paced working environment - As others have shared, you learn something new most everyday (good and bad - but what you can take away from it is golden - skills and experience) - An interesting inside perspective/experience on one of the most intriguing businesses on the planet - The people you come to meet and know, or observe - The chance to enact amazing influence on millions of users on a minute basis - Can be a stepping stone to other opportunities (both within the company and outside of it)

Cons

- Power/politics hinders beneficial progressive movements (both big and small) - Still very much in a start-up environment, globally.. for a company that touts and embraces change, the movement here to more mature corporate is incredibly slow - Opportunities not there so much (maybe once in the past) - Chaotic channels of communication and disarray on information sharing/learning - goes a long way to performance - Intense and long working hours (no overtime pay or work/life balance), no flexibility

Pros

Being on with a newish company I got the opportunity to see/ participate in an evolution of workflow and standards. I have wonderful co-workers that are great people and talented to boot. They have an endless supply of free diet doctor pepper, coke, and the soul quenching La Qua. Vacation policy is great.

Cons

Pay could be better. No 401K matching.
