Pros

Receipt Bank was a great place to work two years ago, when it was a true start up. You will gain experience and receive constant feedback on your performance. Interesting to be in an industry experiencing such rapid change and advancement.

Cons

Recent changes in the product and pricing have created a high-pressure sales environment, with a bait and switch product that leaves customers and the sales team frustrated.   Customers are consistently upset with the product and pricing. Expect to deal with complaints from many customers wanting to cancel within their first month. Employees and management consistently joke about there being no HR department. Complaints and concerns are consistently brushed off by management, even when brought up multiple times by multiple people. Expect to fight for a doctor's appointment. Expect a culture where lunch breaks are frowned upon, but managers disappear for hours on end. Expect your concerns and personal problems to not be handled confidentially. The majority of leadership is young and inexperienced. While there are one or two golden eggs, none have received formal management training of any kind. Leadership positions often simply serve as an ego boost for those who've made their way into the "boys club" and will follow orders with no question. Misogyny and favoritism are pervasive across the company culture. While you may be told you can control your own schedule, but you are micromanaged at every step. Managers chastise employees in a kindergarten-esque manner.... all while managers fool around on their computer. Expect to bust your butt on the phone while your manager plays Pottermore for hours on end right across from you. Be wary of the commission structure and a guarantee you'll get a raise every 3 months. You won’t. You'll be told high employee turnover is normal in an industry like this. It's not. Be wary of the other reviews on this page, as employees are encouraged to give positive reviews. If you're a white man or interested in being a foot soldier, then this is probably a good fit for you.

Hi, we are sorry that your journey at RB ended in a negative light. With any start-up there is always going to be growing pains and the culture will evolve, that being said we appreciate your feedback. We are sorry to see you go, and wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

Overall a good place to work, but protect yourself...

Pros

Culture was very team-oriented when I was there. Coworkers were always willing to help if you ask them and were excited to hear new ideas (and excited to see you bring new ideas to the table). Constant feedback on your performance was incredibly helpful and my growth as a professional was very noticeable. While it can be intimidating at first, if you take it in stride and with a constructive attitude you will learn a ton. You are given a decent amount of leeway in your process, as long as you are still being effective and meeting goals.

Cons

Favoritism was obvious and a major factor in the high turnover from what I could tell. Saw some people come and go due to "not fitting the culture" but others stayed despite similar behaviors/issues because they got along well with management. They preach a culture of accountability but management can use that against you. You may take heat for something that was beyond your control or because expectations were not clearly defined. Working in a young and relatively small office can make you feel like you're with friends, which is great, but be careful not to forget these are coworkers who have their own ambitions. Some will not hesitate to point the finger at you when something has gone wrong.

Heartbroken Over Having to Leave, But No Other Choice

Pros

I cannot overstate the quality of the people I have met at RB, especially those who were part of the hiring push in 2018. It's not a bad product either and quite easy to sell outside of North America. My salary and benefits were industry-standard for the duties listed in my job description. The experience I gained at RB is second to none. Even with insane workload, I spent my first 6 months at Receipt Bank working in a dream company with my dream colleagues.

Cons

I was directly mislead about my role and its trajectory on a routine basis. This is a pretty common practice at Receipt Bank that you can see reflected in other reviews. Within 30 days of hiring my role did not remotely resemble what I had signed on for. Promises of help or raises simply evaporate or are treated like they never occurred. There is no work life balance at Receipt Bank, and no drive internally to try to fix this. Schedules of 70+ hours a week would have been understandable in a much earlier stage startup, if employees were provided equity, or if bonuses were offered for this kind of performance. However in a 450 person company it becomes quickly obvious that it is instead a result of poor planning by senior management. Employee basics are frequently neglected - especially those typical to a SaaS company. In the North America office this is due to layoffs of basic staff members without adequate plans in place for support. Paychecks were late, missing hundreds to thousands of dollars in reimbursements, or missing altogether twice in my case. Very young salespeople were having to expense paper towels and coffee. One staff member was forced to expense thousands of dollars at events due to lack of planning by office head management. Many managers have been quickly promoted without the experience or support needed to be effective in their positions. This is the case around the world in every Receipt Bank office. Many align with toxic aspects of the new culture due to having no chance to be set up for success. This lack of empathy manifests in normal behavior in any other SaaS office environment being regarded with mistrust. If Receipt Bank now values employees at every level only when their screens are visible and their bodies are in their seats, don't mislead new hires about that on the new round of job listings.
