Pros

It was a great learning experience on running a tech startup. Really appreciated the casual work environment conducive to productivity, I got to bring my dog with me to work, and there were mostly great staff & colleagues--some of whom have become close friends. CEO and I had pretty good rapport, but his being away often made too many of the mice play, so to speak. They've recently (in 2019) really turned the company around and the software is finally competitive with the top booking SaaS in the US market. Knowing who's steering the ship now, it's become a whole new company with clear direction and focus.

Cons

Lack of accountability and integrity by many of the upper management back in 2017. Long hours. Excessively high turnover with little or no warning. Below-market pay.

Pros

-Coworkers are really nice -Most people are in their mid to late 20s

Cons

Inferior product: There are other softwares that cost significantly less AND have twice the capabilities than the Shore software. Good luck trying to sell it. You will be fighting tooth and nail for every sale and constantly trying to save customers who want to cancel because they found a better solution. Pay: 35K or 45K DOE. The OTE is grossly overestimated. Significantly less when compared to other SaaS companies in Silicon Beach. Work life: In sales, you will work at least 6 days and 60-80 Hours a week. You will work almost every weekend and have little to do no days off. I can't imagine working here and having a family. Terrible Management: Churn and burn for C level. Nobody wants to stick around and fix the mess the Co-Founder created. Constant Layoffs: Every couple of months they fire a handful of people. No one is safe! The company started off with 300+ employees and now is down about 50 if not less.
