Pros

- Really nice people. Everyone from upper management to the interns are nice and easy to work with. - Easy product to sell. You are selling an app that is free to download. - Nice and clean office.

Cons

- Inconsistent commission plans. For a salesperson your commission is your livelihood. Every month you get close to hitting your max commission they will bump your numbers up. When I joined they said your on target earnings will be $75k a year. I was a top performer and my OTE was $60k. It is obvious they don't want to pay you commissions. - You will get your monthly commission plan 7-10 days into the month. - They have daily activity numbers for calls and talk time that you are required to hit even to receive commission. You are required to source and upload all your own leads so expect to do that outside of work hours so you can hit your activity numbers. You have to put in the extra hours to be a top performer but here it won't benefit your bank account. - They make everyone's numbers different based on past performance. So if you have higher numbers your numbers will be higher but the commission $ will be the same for everyone. - Bottom line is you won't make a good living as a salesperson at this company.

Pros

Great people, great product, great leadership. The coffee game is out of this world.

Cons

Downtown location is cool, but could be better situated to encourage spending more time in the neighborhood vs. the office.

Pros

Select your jobs and hours easily without requiring any more than you're willing to work. Also nice to have reviews on most jobs to help you make an informed decision on what you want to work or not.

Cons

Most of the work is I-9 and will require you to track all of your expenses and such so you're not royally screwed come tax season. Work descriptions will regularly be outdated, vague, or just wildly inaccurate. Services to help you are limited and tedious to get.
