Pros

Liked the product, enjoyed the sale for the all of 30 days I was employed.

Cons

Laid off in a mass reduction of staff after being hired 30 days ago. reason is due to under performing sales in two preceding months and a "New Direction for the company" Why hire us just to lay us all off??? Crazy I had three other job offers and turned them down because I was impressed with Belly Card, Not anymore. I understand business but how can you have such disregard for peoples lives.

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.
