Pros

There hasn't been any lately. One time I would rave to family and friends about Shopify but it's nothing but back-tracking and censorship.

Cons

Highly censored, they regularly lock threads if people express concerns. Constantly promise exciting changes only to backtrack at the last minute. Low morale everywhere, senior leadership make everything more difficult by the day.
