Pros

Good benefits: MacBook, ability to work from home. Decent support system with the managers, stock options. Like to promote from within if you perform well. Overall pretty positive experience. They definitely try to get you into the cult of ChowNow. If you commit to it you'll do fine. If you aren't big on that type of company culture this isn't the place for you.

Cons

Low base pay. On target earnings are around 45-60k. However, what they don't tell you is that the numbers you need to hit the high end are nearly unattainable. The product is simple and there's a definite need out there. The issue is the market is packed with competitors. Restaurants are getting slammed with cold calls from companies trying to milk a few more dollars out of them, ChowNow included. Even though they claim to be the "good guys". There is a really high turnover rate in the SDR department. Most barely make it 6 months. Just be prepared mentally to take on the challenge or choose a different company.

Pros

Coworkers are good people and teams try their best despite the chaos. Remote work.

Cons

Poor executive leadership, constantly changing priorities and restructuring, lack of direction, low morale, reactive decision making, and executives who are out of touch with what the business actually needs.
