Pros

Decent pay, ok benefits. I like talking with customers.

Cons

I don't like how when customers ask if we are the other more expensive Lightspeed software we aren't told to correct them. It feels misleading.

Lightspeed Response

Hi there, I think you may have us confused with another Lightspeed as we don't employ anyone in Kentucky.
