      Pros

      great people, lot of 20 somethings working there. Free coffee, pop, unlimited vacations and great sales tools. Decent training program, but difficulty has increased ten fold to advance

      Cons

      This guy nailed it but i was gonna add a couple of my own. Seems they are trying to weed out some of the vets of the company as their commissions are in the 5-10 thousands a month range. After 6 months expect yours to be anywhere from 400-800 with your base 33 salary ( note you can get lucky and hit a big one that could grant you a huge commission but im being honest, not too many hit it. but money is scarce with student loan debt Cons – -Lack of transparency b/w upper management and SF -extreme micromanagement (unless you're in the top 7% of company) -extremely high activity goals -stay let policies always in place ie if you don't close a contract you stay late - mgmt. has no pulse on the SF -has turned into a call center, lacks creativity----hugely true, this is most recent at groupon -no streamline way to progress career -sense of dread- not fun to come anymore, morale is dead and things change like the wind

      Incredible place to grow

      Pros

      Amazing office culture with all the tech company perks like massages, team events and vibrant office environment. Inspiring to be part of a growing company that not only focusses on its own growth but also helps small businesses all around Australia to grow and prosper. It is great to know that my deals not only earn me commission but help business owners in my city and also help customers explore their city. Great to see a lot of internal promotion and people growing through the ranks. We are all really young and starting our careers but it is cool to see people step into shoes one size too big and grow into them quickly. The company focusses heavily on technology and processes, for the past year it has been hard to cope with so much change but it is starting to pay off now and the tools are super helpful. It sounds cheesy but everyone is friends.. people know each other in different departments and we hang out as much inside the office as outside.

      Cons

      One of the hard things of working for a fast moving company is that it always changes. It is sometimes frustrating to cope with the change but it is usually for the better. Some of the managers are pretty young and I wish they took more time to support their employees and not just focus on the job at hand.

      Good Culture, Poor Career

      Pros

      The company culture is fantastic. It feels like a real community and—in the Editorial Department at least—superiors encourage open communication and creative thinking. Company policies also enforce a good degree of employee autonomy, which is great.

      Cons

      In its initial years, the company grew too fast too quickly and ended up acquiring a larger workforce than was actually needed. This contributed to a number of structural problems—the most frustrating being that it became very difficult for even high performing employees to advance along their career path because the company was more interested in bleeding employees out than rewarding hard work. In fact, good work often went not only unrewarded but unacknowledged. There was very little incentive for employees, monetary, titular or otherwise. At the end of the day, though it was a good job. But not a good career.
