Pros

Flat org that believes in the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Sales and scoping call for tons of critical/dynamic thinking and thought leadership rather than just persuasively listing software features. Opportunity to influence and impact the direction of the business rather than live in a silo as an individual contributor. Opportunity to experience and impact diverse businesses in the ever-growing space of recurring revenue + help executives tackle legitimate, strategic business problems along the way. Leadership treats employees like adults - expect that you'll do right by yourself, PW, and PW clients and otherwise let you work flexibly, live your life, and operate how you prefer to operate given you're doing good work. Cool/smart crew, snacks, coffee, unlimited PTO, all that jazz.

Cons

Lots of work for relatively low pay. Imperfect business model - still lots of work to be done here, but attractive to the right kind of person. Depending on your team, feedback can be unrelenting, which is a good thing in many cases, but tough for folks with thin skin. This culture of feedback has created a tough byproduct of 'all ideas/opinions created equal', which realistically isn't always the case in a business setting. Lack of structure/direction at times - which, again, can be attractive to some but debilitating for others.

Terrible company

Pros

Cool marketing material and ideas to produce leads.

Cons

Terrible product market fit, ask how many reps have hit quota in the last 2 years. Poor management team who has no idea how to sell other then begging clients to give them money. The company is bootstrapped and has terrible cash flow management. This is a good company to work for if you want to be verbally abused and have no success. The sales team works in this way, they hire folks allow them to build a little bit of pipeline that will close and then they fire them and take over their deals.

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
