Pros
* Founders have consciously bootstrapped the company to adhere to the company's mission to "build something that last longer than us" * Tremendously efficient use of technology--they run at a fraction of the size of other payment processors (by volume) through their application of technology and a foundation of solid business practices and processes * Management makes a conscious effort to create a great workplace environment that encourages work/life balance and career growth * Tremendous opportunities to learn a thriving industry. I consider my time there as a real life business school. I learned from technological savvy and shrewd businessmen that created a strong business from the ground up. They gave me the opportunity to touch all aspects of the business, grow my skillset, and try new things. * I can't say enough how grateful I am to have worked at PayJunction with great people to build a lasting foundation for their business.
Cons
* The company is headquartered in Santa Barbara--must be comfortable with staying in the central coast * Management is intentional and deliberate about its growth. They seemingly have no intention to scale to Uber. Must be comfortable with slow, steady growth. Working at PayJunction is a long term play. In entrepreneurial ventures, founders can focus on being rich or being king. The founders have focused on being king. This was done intentionally to ensure the company's culture and mission stays consistent with their original values. Again, this is not a con in the traditional sense but may be for potential employees that are looking for a hyper growth startup.
