Pros

Office is right next to Little Italy Dog Friendly Founder has experience in building/selling a business

Cons

Some of the worst sales leadership I've ever encountered. Honestly, the majority of problems in the company stem from sales leadership. Fear-based "leadership" Zero professional development, support, or general care for employees. No job security. Hostile work environment- toxic culture. Dismal office space and benefits- you have to pay for your own parking. Product is easy enough to understand but clunky, and really doesn't add any value for customers. There's so many competitors in the space and no real differentiation. San Diego is becoming one of the hottest tech hubs in the US! There are so many awesome companies to work for (in San Diego or remote)- don't settle for Mercato.

Pros

nice office space and snacks allow dogs in the office

Cons

Upper management is not aware of a lot that is happening in the company and blaming that on others. Communication chaos especially in terms of making final decisions. Basically one benefit (unlimited PTO) that is not actually unlimited and 2 people were coincidentally fired after taking it. There is some special treatment for couple of people. They want you to come with original ideas, but when you do they shut them down and won't let you do anything. Not proving with equipment to work (computer/laptop) despite the promise in the beginning.
