Pros

Work with great people. Due to small number of employees, you get to wear many hats and can quickly become the expert. Great industry as all of the vendors have been amazing to work with as the team has built a great rapport with them.

Cons

It is a start up environment and you need to be able to handle that it is not a 9-5 job on some days. You wear many hats and need to be a self starter as well as be able to research and figure things out. There is guidance but not much hand holding which I prefer. Technology is a challenge, but there are investments happening to make access to data easier.

Pros

Very friendly and Professional staff. I worked with their head of IT, Josh and Head of Marketing, Erin. Great energy. Very innovative company in their domain. Great communication and timely payments.

Cons

Not much. They assume you know your stuff and trust that you can deliver. So be communicative if you don't have direction. Their tech stack needs improvement and is migrating to the latest Shopify Plus.

Pros

Salary plus bonus incentives are above market rates. Fun, and engaging work. I surprisingly did have a really good time working there and learned some things along the way. Executive leadership, seem to have a very mapped out approach and they have launched multiple other businesses with success in the past so it does relieve some of the "what ifs" of joining early stage, smaller company.

Cons

It is what it is. A start-up. A lot to do, hard and grueling at times but will have you laughing on other days. If you're the type of personal that can handle your own work without hand holding (keeping up with KPI's, goals, etc), you're rewarded heavily and able to be very independent. If you're the type of person that really needs to be lead, constant feedback, and help with your work; this is probably not the job for you. No start-up should be.
