Hi, thanks for your review and the impact you are making at Lightspeed. Thanks for the positive feedback - we strive to ensure our people have great benefits and it's even better when the feedback on management is good. With regards to clarity around promotions, we are in the process of finalizing our Career GPS (our career growth framework) across all business units and this should provide you with greater clarity around how individuals can work to build their skills towards promotions. Thanks again

Pros

Kitchen, Good product. Great international clientele. Other departments may be good.

Cons

Tech support is all about closing as many tickets as quickly as possible without regard for quality and resolutions. The employees who cared the least about clients and were good at feigning ignorance and getting their calls hung up quickly (which would only result in the clients not actually having their issues resolved and having to call back) were those who were praised the most and given the bonuses and promotions..
