Pros

Good benefits and great people to work with

Cons

Always looking for ways to change compensation plan so hard working sales reps make less and less. Continuously cutting jobs or shifting roles.

Pros

- Flexible paid time off - Health insurance - $400 credit a year for wellness - Modern Health app - LinkedIn Learning - They provide a Mac laptop to work from

Cons

- Leadership will receive our feedback and do nothing about it - Since the three rounds of redundancies, a lot of the workload has come to our team, the workload has tripled over a year - Compensation is horrendously low for this role considering the amount of workload and how stretched you are on different projects - The management and Leadership teams do not have training on how to handle different types of people, their stress is often taken out on their team verbally - Favouritism - Constant changes to the job role (for a very long time we did not have a job spec, it has not been updated to show all the additional jobs we do) - No clear progression after this role (because we are too broad and lack depth in our experience, it's quite difficult to move into a different type of role within Lightspeed. There is no further type of support that we could move into) - There is a serious lack of job opportunities for Support, the Tier II team has been waiting for a year and maybe more with no sight of a promotion. Some have left the business because of this. - Underqualified people are hired for the support roles, which results in more workload for the other support teams
