Pros

Group Commerce has awesome intentions. It has the opportunity to go very far. The CEO is AWESOME. The compensation and benefits are undeniably very good.

Cons

Unfortunately, this young and hip company has hired VERY inexperienced employees who have been promoted with virtually zero experience prior to Group Commerce. Mid level sales management is extremely arrogant and rude to AE's and confuses it for confidence. The middle management (Regional Sales Managers) lack serious integrity, respect, training and experience. This company is under the misconception that a good sales person makes a good manager, and this is entirely wrong. The Account Executives don't feel comfortable stating their opinions and feel devalued from the local RSM's. The remote sales people don't feel properly managed, supported or respected. This issue is by far this company's weakest link.

Pros

Culture is a huge part of the Group Commerce experience. If you're looking to get assignments, head to a cubicle, and hammer out assignments, this isn't the place for you. The work is pretty rewarding, and we are new enough that we are still figuring things out, meaning everyone can make a significant impact on the future of the company. At the same time, we are well-funded and making money; not yet profitable, but tracking toward it nicely. Also, memes are a big part of life.

Cons

Paychecks are probably on par with other nyc startups, but those other startups are probably more generous with equity.
