Great stepping stone

Pros

Great benefits, culture and flexibility. Great job for those looking to have a full gambit of experience to apply to resume

Cons

Pay is extremely volatile, you can work your tail off as hard as you’d like but if client is late on pay then commission comes back out. Not a lot of room for growth unless you find a way to monopolize a specific vertical, even then commission can still be charged back.
