Pros

Nice office Good benefit package starts on day 1

Cons

Moves at a fast pace things are changing so often no one can keep up Be prepared to work 45+ hour work weeks say goodbye to family and friends Management all have different answers everyone seems tense, unsure of themselves and uptight or the complete opposite overly confident and douchy Mainly men (white) not many women employed in sales A lot of employees smile in your face and then they go talk about you when your not in the room Super toxic don’t suggest anyone take a stab here Lightspeed already hit its peak and likely won’t rise again Don’t be fooled by the initial wow, you’ll be depressed and miserable daily

Insane and mentally unstable management

Pros

I learn a lot about the industry, and I learn a lot from my brilliant colleagues.

Cons

Although there are tons of potential for learning and growth, the insane and mentally unstable management will keep you on your toes all the time. The managers will point out your mistake rudely, and they'll verbally abuse and insult you instead of mentoring you. Just avoid interacting with the awful managers and you'll survive.
