Pros

You can meet some cool people, everyone is pretty young at the office. There may be an opportunity to travel within the United States, depending on what position you apply for. They made a deal with 7-eleven!

Cons

For an organization that has preaches the importance of 'loyalty', it is truly tough to get behind a company that does not share those same core principles internally. The turn over is through the roof. I cannot stress this enough. If you are looking for a job, please understand what you're getting yourself into. -The amount of sales reps who have been with Belly longer than two years-- you can count on one hand. -Belly recently laid off over 30%+ of their staff (Not a great indicator that the company is headed in the right direction) -The product is based off of merchant renewals, and Belly has consistently proven they cannot retain accounts, as the number of published accounts has drastically declined and continues to do so -"Company Culture" is found within the exec team only -If you are in an outside market, you are merely a cell on an excel sheet -Many out of pocket expenses that are slow to be re-paid -Commission checks consistently are incorrect and slow to be corrected (if ever corrected)

Pros

Lots of hardworking young people on track for long and successful professional careers Pretty good benefits Good short term opportunity, more mature tech and marketing companies love to recruit Belly employees.

Cons

The product peaked, it was the next big thing for a while in the SMB space and now it's losing its appeal because it doesn't offer any true value to its merchants and business owners are growing wise to it. It's heading in the direction of a lot of its earlier competitors Upper management doesn't have a clue of what they are doing, no longterm vision or direction whatsoever, just cockiness and rah rah rah. The turnover is really high, like over 50% in less than a year. Just look at the Team Page, the faces change every week. Really poor commission plan, and the sales execs always finding clever ways to pay employees less. Basically, the company is divided between the Chicago inner circle and unhappy outside reps. People in Chicago love it, people outside don't. They don't give customer emails to the business owners because they say they want to make sure that customers don't get spammed, then they spam the customers every day with pointless emails. So basically they make both parties angry. Totally backwards.
