Pros

-Opportunity to build out your role or in some instances, an entire department, from the ground up. This typically involves collaborating with executives, founders, and leaders at some of the most high growth and innovative tech and subscription companies in the world today. -CEO is one of the most thoughtful and intelligent people while also traveling over 100k miles per year on behalf of the company for speaking engagements and workshops singing the good ProfitWell word. He's also the most knowledgeable person on the planet about subscription pricing, metrics, and almost any other business topic. -Entirely bootstrapped and customer funded since inception - ProfitWell is one of the most efficient growing subscription and businesses on the planet because of it's founding and management teams acumen, as well as the overall commitment to finding people who exhibit PW values and truly understand there "are no free rides." -Flexible work/life balance, unlimited vacation policy, and top tier benefits programs - office is located right downtown, dog friendly, cold brew on tap, and bevi machine.

Cons

1. To be successful at PW you have to be comfortable with taking on an overwhelming amount of ambiguity - while most roles have structured OKRs and duties, they're evolving quickly as the company, market and product changes which can be difficult for some employees to keep up with. 2. Frequently changing or simply newly building out of internal processes which is natural in most startup environments 3. Hiring middle management is difficult because of how unique the business/product and respective positions are within the industry 4. Growing quickly in headcount so during peak hours there is sometimes limited call rooms for meetings (champagne problem!) 5. Need a scrappy mentality - for folks coming from venture funded startups, this might be a wake up call because we're bootstrapped and extremely cash efficient

Pros

Extremely passionate employees & management who really believe in the product, high degree of autonomy, generous PTO policy, great work/life balance most of the time, positive and welcoming culture, super transparent executive management (in a good way). Management is super encouraging of developing side projects and creative new ways of doing things that you believe will help drive the business forward. If you're someone who likes being autonomous and thinking outside-the-box, you'll really thrive here.

Cons

TLDR: There's a general lack of resources, otherwise there aren't many cons to be frank. Being a bootstrapped start-up growing as quickly as it is, you often find yourself wishing you had more internal expert access and tech stack resources. In addition, salary is pretty low compared to market, and some "nice-to-have" benefits are missing (no 401(k) match, no tuition reimbursement, etc). However, this is the life of a start-up employee; you know it going in, and management clearly shows it's a priority to ramp this side up in the long-term as the company scales.

Pros

Culture is top notch. Strong work flexibility. Company is profitable and bootstrapped showcasing savvy from leadership team. Lots of growth opportunities.

Cons

Company is growing faster than the office can hold (which is a good problem), so sometimes all the bathrooms are taken. Office is pretty old (albeit charming) so can get hot, cold, or loud depending on weather and foot traffic. These will be taken care of when we move to a new office.
