Pros

- Fantastic Benefits (Bixi, amazing health options, stock options, and more): it is very apparent that Lightspeed cares about the employees from the very first day you start - Colleagues are amazing: I've worked at some amazing places, but the level of employee talent here is off the charts. Everyone from my immediate team to other departments is really focused on the same goals. - Rewarding: in sales we have the opportunity to make our own way and it can be super rewarding (both financially and personally).

Cons

- Work/life balance can be difficult: one of the most common complaints is about work/life balance. This can be true, but honestly, it's the same with almost any company out there. I don't think Lightspeed is too demanding in comparison to other jobs out there.

Thanks for a great review! You’ve called out a number of “pros” of the Lightspeed experience. We certainly see ourselves as a more modern company with a culture of high energy, creativity and passion. We’re not your cookie-cutter type of organization and it works for us, and we’re glad to know it also works for you!

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.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It’s good to hear that you valued the unlimited PTO however, we’re concerned by the other feedback you’ve shared. We take this feedback seriously and use it to inform ongoing improvements. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
