Pros

Potential to move up quickly, good place to gain multitasking and management experience to take with you to another job.

Cons

Low hourly pay for the amount of work expected. Commission structure is set up in a way that punishes you for customers that do not purchase coverages or upgrade instead of rewarding you for the times you do sell i.e. if 1 long term renter (2 weeks or more) decides to not get coverages or upgrade (which is wise since the charges are daily and can add up quickly) that contract cancels out the 5 other customers that DID buy coverages but only rented for 1 day. Basically you can sell on a majority of your contracts/customers (and bring in over $20,000 in revenue just from sales alone) but if you have a few long term contracts with nothing you can get paid $0 commission at the end of the month.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
