Pros

Start-up positive attitudes Decent work environment Work hard play hard mentality

Cons

There is a good amount of useless fat in this company. It seems like everyone they’ve hired in the past six months has never even worked a day in the restaurant industry. So they’re genuine understanding of how restaurants run is nonexistent. I’ve dealt with my fair share of confused and frustrated customers via helping other coworkers. I’ve talked to some remote Success people and they’re clueless. It’s almost embarrassing as a team member that’s worked in the restaurant industry for a few years.

Thank you for this candid feedback. When we're hiring, we look for a balance of three key things: restaurant experience, technical experience, and customer service experience. Our goal is to hire employees with strong customer service skills that have empathy and passion for our customers' success. We take training very seriously and even offer unique modules such as restaurant empathy. If you are comfortable, please come talk to me so that I can better understand the gaps in our training program. Your insight will be extremely valuable. - Debra Fleig, VP, Customer Support

Pros

-Strong pay (if you hit your numbers) -Ambitious goals that challenge you -Competitive landscape that will force you to get better beyond exclusively selling -Founders still very involved and very visible to the company and employees -Team cultures are always strong -For sales, you always get in touch with prospects, which is an underrated pro -When leadership promotes internal mobility and career development they mean it and support it

Cons

-Numerous Sales teams that share the same markets/TAMs. Customers and prospects get exhausted of outreach - Since going public, the goal posts keep moving forward even if 60% of the org hit goal. -A number of core leaders have left, new ones still learning the ropes which was hindering the orgs and teams
