Pros

Base pay is on the higher end for the role

Cons

The new commission structure is among the lowest in the industry. You essentially get your commission paid out in tiny increments spread out quarterly over three years. If the merchant ever leaves Shopify, or goes out of business, you leave or get fired, in that time you lose all payouts.

Pros

- decent culture built around supporting entrepreneurship - availability of AI tooling - fully remote

Cons

- low and non-competitive pay compared to other tech companies - backwards comp and impact system they think is "innovative" and unique, but it's really just a system to keep comp and titles capped
