Pros
Passionate with a concept and idea of what the business wants to be that is exciting and easy to buy into. Decent base salary and commission structure when I started. (salary accepted based on individual commission structure) I experienced a good work-life balance and my colleagues made the employment bearable.
Cons
While the concept and idea are exciting, the business isn't prepared to take risks and simply resorts to recruitment tactics to make the dollars. The goal posts moved as far as the commission is concerned twice within the time I was with the business, though salaries were not amended to reflect. Talked a good game about consulting and the direction of the business though Praciticus to my exposure is basically a body shop recruiter utilising SOW's Unfortunately, the leadership I experienced, while passionate, were not interested in hearing new ideas or opinions that differed from their own. I was hired based on experience, though that experience was not considered once I started because "leadership" (loose term) knew better and worked for the business much longer than I had. As the old saying goes, do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got and this stands true for the business. Certainly from where I sat.
