Pros

Benefits, stock plan, great colleagues

Cons

There are some serious unrealistic expectations in the sales organization. The number of talented AEs leaving Square is very discouraging. Many sales leaders are very inexperienced and fail to listen to AE concerns. Compensation could be decent, but the vast majority of reps are not even close to hitting quota so they are not benefitting from what they could be making. The compensation is pretty much your base salary plus a few hundred bucks every quarter. The product is great but unfortunately the sales organization needs to really reevaluate how they will encourage reps to stay.
