Pros

Working in the support department of Lightspeed was truly one of the most enriching and fulfilling times of my work career. It does not feel like you are simply a robot answering calls, it actually feels rewarding helping merchants and your team members with different issues. You feel part of a family, you feel so much more then just a number in this company. The managers of eCom (the department I worked in) were the most nurturing and caring managers I had ever seen: you had a question, they‘d have an answer, you had a problem, they’d be there to listen. Truly, amazing people. To top it all off, the VP of support is someone I am so happy I worked with and can truly say I learned a lot from. This person will get you where you want to go, and will entrust you with different projects in order for you to succeed and challenge yourself. Work/life balance is very important in the support department and we are one of the few departments I can say has a REAL work/life balance. This company is not like any other company I have ever worked at, and working customer support I can say, with 100% certitude, there truly isn’t a better place to work in support. This place will challenge you, this place will support you and this place will make you better. I encourage anyone looking for a job in support or any job in general, to look at Lightspeed for the amazing company they are and for the amazing culture and people they have.

Cons

I enjoyed my experience there so can’t say anything was bad

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.
