Pros

They attempt to win you over with a fun environment and take you . on outings such as Top Golf, happy hour, SPIN, COTA. Some of the managers are cool and easy to work with. After that, it all goes down from there.

Cons

This is a poorly run startup that will lie to your face to get you in the door. They promise commission is uncapped but what they don't tell you is that their product is nearly impossible to sell. You're required to sell short term loans at a high rate. The only companies dumb enough to take the loans are ones that can't even afford the loan in the first place. Those same companies are the ones getting denied due to their poor situation. If you are lucky enough to get promoted then watch your back. There is more job security at the qualifier position than in the manager position. Every new training class comes in and they look to see who can be fired. A lot of good people have been run out of the company that didn't deserve what they got! The same people that are preaching the style of culture they want are the same people ruining it. If this company was a ship, it would be sinking and the "captain" wouldn't even know it was happening.

Pros

Great company culture, strong leadership, and a highly motivated team. Backd is growing quickly, which creates a lot of opportunity for professional development, ownership, and meaningful impact. The work is challenging in a good way, and it is exciting to be part of a company that is helping small businesses access the funding they need.

Cons

As with any fast-growing company, priorities can shift quickly and the pace can be demanding at times. That said, this also creates a lot of opportunity for employees who enjoy taking ownership, solving problems, and working in a dynamic environment.

Pros

Culture and Teamwork: Team works closely together, collaborate on projects and initiatives, multiple team events to build relationships Flexibility: Work in office 5 days a week but leadership is understanding with scheduling when challenges arise and allow for appointments, early departures, late arrivals for employees as needed. AI: Utilizing AI to transform the business and giving employees exposure.

Cons

Industry Demands: Payment Processing, Finance, and Technology is fast-paced and requires rapid change. Tight timelines can be overwhelming and development struggles to keep up. Prioritization: Priorities can change rapidly given the challenges of industry demand and client demands- need to find a healthier balance of completing projects on time and ensuring alignment on the next priorities. Perfect is the enemy of good- need to shift the mindset from "flawless completion" to iterative progress where it makes sense.
