Pros

Cool office, the people are great

Cons

You’ll spend most of your time selling upgrades to people who don’t actually need them. Customers annoyed because they have been blown up constantly by the last 10 people who had your job

Pros

Lots of support from management. I always felt like I was heard. Plenty of support from my teammates. The CEO is an amazing person.

Cons

Customers only reach out because there are issues with their sites; causing them to be upset most of the time. Tough job if you are not used to remote work.
