Pros

I have worked at Lightspeed for 2 years in more than one office and I can truly say that the people here are some of the most hardworking I have ever seen. To be successful here, you need to buy into the vision and get involved, which is easy to do due to the sheer volume and pace that the company work at. They do not look at your age, they care about experience + attitude. It feels like every week we get an email about someone being promoted or moving into a new department. It is truly a place that you can grow. I work in sales and the team work together in every office to achieve target, it is a sales driven environment. You are not competing against eachother, everyone gets that it is best when we all achieve.

Cons

As others have said, it is unashamedly not a 9-5 job. But they are pretty open with that before you get into it. The company is going places so that's what you got to do sometimes. In saying that, in my experience, it has always still been flexible enough that it is not that big a deal. I love being in a place where no one slacks and you are all doing your best work.

Thanks for leaving such a great review! A part of our secret sauce is that everyone truly believes in what we’re trying to do as a company. We’re all on this crazy ride together, and push one another to achieve great things, and grow here. With that being said, you hit the nail on the head with it not being a standard punch-clock approach. We make sure to incentivise everyone for the hard work they put in. We try to offer the best for the best.

Pros

-Unlimited PTO - Use this, the company allows it. This is the main reason I stayed at this company for so long. If they did not offer it, I would have been gone within minutes.

Cons

-Low pay- the company makes up for not paying you by offering unlimited PTO - They keep switching from Atena to Cigna, Kind of annoying when you already have an established PCP - Constant layoffs, its a running joke in this company that when you become a Team Lead you are about to get laid off. - Pay increase- Also it looks like when you start making too much money, prepare to get laid off. Accepting pay increases comes with less job security - This job you need a lot of adaptability- you never know if you might come in and you have an increased amount of duties because they laid someone off - this increase of duties does NOT come with an increased salary/hourly wage either. You are just expected to take on other peoples job duties for nothing in return. -Literally everyone is figuring out things on the spot, there are no tools provided to you to guide you through things. You just gotta figure it out as you go. - The company asks for more than they give. - The company has way too many meetings. You will end up sitting in meeting listening to other departments speak about things that have NOTHING to do with you. Time is not spent well here, time is wasted. - The CEO is very boastful and braggy, like telling us things about his personal life that doesnt pertain to anything related to work in any way, shape or form disguised as " fun facts" when its just a chance to brag.
