Pros

Chances are, any people you will work with directly are pretty great. But that's genuinely true of people everywhere. You'll get a lot of socks and t-shirts, so if you don't have an Old Navy or similar close to where you live, that's a definite plus. Everyone is constantly doing and learning things for the first time, so you will have ample opportunity to make mistakes and learn.

Cons

You will be significantly underpaid, and not in a way that's cute-because-we're-a-scrappy-startup anymore. Your managers will either do what they can to help you, or do what they can to help themselves, and neither of those will be enough, because Jobber is a sales organization, not a product company, and this is reflected in nearly every decision that is made. Not that you will necessarily know, because upper management & executives will happily make decisions that undermine or overrule other employees with no notice or explanation. Jobber cares much more about winning "best place to work" awards than it does about actually making it a good place to work (see the first point above), and is absolutely 100% committed to being politically and socially "neutral". Maybe ignoring the world around you is good for business, but it sure makes people who work for you feel like they don't matter. If you learn to keep your mouth shut about it you will do fine.

Pros

Not a single positive during my time at Jobber

Cons

- Leadership has ZERO strategy to compete against the other players in the market. - Way too many convoluted processes that slow everyone down - They will recruit you from another company and then let you go with absolutely no notice or reason

Pros

Strong product-market fit Good benefits Helpful coworkers Good resume builder for SaaS sales

Cons

If you have strong sales experience, think carefully before joining. Inbound is a grind with inflated targets, low attainment, and compensation that doesn’t justify the workload. Most reps either quit or get pushed out quickly. The real surprise is when someone actually lasts. Morale is low, turnover is constant, and the pressure never stops. Management talks heavily about culture, but at the end of the day this is a compensation issue. Reps are expected to carry impossible numbers while being heavily micromanaged every step of the way. The company has a good product and some good people, but the sales structure feels designed around replacing reps rather than retaining them. Anyone who succeeds here long term has my respect. The environment is far tougher than leadership seems willing to admit.
