Another toxic corporation with a pretty image.  Most of the people are great, but a lot of disappointments in management, particularly those hired externally.  Expectations are very high, and ongoing training is not offered.  You get a couple weeks at the beginning and that's pretty much it.   Management support depends on who you were assigned to; could be great, could be terrible.  Sales management continues to squeeze employees without concern for the impact of constant stress and consistently growing metrics.  It's a rough existence for new hires.  The most helpful people are team members and mentors (again, if you're lucky to get some good ones), but they're stressed to the max so you feel guilty asking for help.  
If you're into tone deaf corporate sales, being pushed to make lots and lots of cold calls, and don't mind being sleazy with a fake-positive image, this will be a great fit.  Otherwise, you'll be disappointed.  The software is nice, though.
Don't count on the commissions immediately - they likely won't be a part of your income for at least 9 months and are taxed very high.  Benefits are great - consider those part of your pay.

Weebly has a very good work place where engineers, product managers, and QA work together on product and engineering challenges.  The culture is welcoming where employees can casually talk each other about everyday life or seriously talk about technical challenges.  You will most likely find a group you will like to hang out with.

The management is engaging and they can be helpful.  I had to be more active in finding on what areas interest me in my job to work with the managers.

From the job, I learned about the build and release process, parallization tools for unit and acceptance tests, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, and how to do presentations to engineers.

There was a lot of work and responsibilities for my role there and sometimes my team are on constant maintenance mode and rarely had time to develop new tools.

The most enjoyable part of the job is developing applications and tools and debugging problems.

I started with the first class of employees when the company was brand new in AZ. They talked about how we would all be managers and the company would grow and new positions and opportunities would soon be ours. 2 years later, I'm laid off after witnessing every single person from that first class systematically fired off. Truth be told, it's a sales job where you are required to meet a quota that is always increasing. Management could never answer even the most basic of technical questions and were only ever focused on selling products to customers. When I joined the remote team it was even worse. I worked an entire year with no manager communication, never a single one-on-one about my metrics or performance and anytime I reached out for help I was practically ignored. I had such high hopes for a future with this company but it was all smoke and mirrors.

Weebly is a great place to work. 

Most folks will be looking into the CSA role. It's a hybrid of support and sales. You'll definitely be informed of this during the interview process, they specifically ask you about performance and if you're comfortable with having metrics/quotas. 

Most folks really enjoy being able to dig into what a customers goals are and how Weebly can help them achieve online success instead of just answering technical questions all day. It's like meeting a new friend with each conversation.

The people here are amazing. I've yet to run into someone that wasn't willing to answer questions or help out when needed.

Typical of most tech companies, and all start-ups, things change pretty rapidly. Whether that be updates to the product, policy changes or the industry in general. As long as you enjoy being in a dynamic environment that is never stale you'll be okay at Weebly.

The other reviews seem to have a similar experience to mine.  I was one of the first people hired on when the company got an investment to open a call center in Scottsdale, and it became quickly obvious that nobody knew what to do.

Aside from being consistently beat by competitors like Wix, there are metrics set that increase steadily and are near impossible to hit.  While supervisors are lost and clueless as to what their job even is with no real experience in anything.

They will pretend to care about you and then lay you off one day when you come in with no warning.  Or, when they had a remote team, just lock your accounts and close you out.  This has happened to each individual person who has initially started there.

The pay is also minimal, and benefits are non-existent.

The Customer Success  Advocate position is a really cool blend I haven't found elsewhere of both sales and support. You get to interact with a wide variety of customers each day, some really empowering stories.

The metrics are a healthy blend to allow you to "do right by the customer" and definitely not "sell the most expensive things." If a customer needs something it's a great conversation to talk about why they'll be successful with it, and if they have the tools already then that's fine too!

The environment is fun; great people, new catered lunches every day, company parties and team builders.

I look forward to coming in to work and not dread it like other places.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leaving, not just at the end of the day but leaving the dysfunctional freak show snowflake palace of dysfunction. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Walking on eggshells trying to not offend everyone by actually asking for work to be done, the place is a preschool, not a workplace.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
No controls across the Cash App product, no desire to improve this situation, people in roles around PII and customer sensitive information have zero knowledge of the legal requirtments around these regulations. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Non stop babysitting and fake attitudes and frustration getting anyone to be accountable for their work.

I honestly love my job, it's challenging, it's meaningful, I feel accomplished but I'm not overly stressed (most of the time). I had a baby this year and not only was my maternity leave fully covered it was 16 weeks long and allowed me to fully heal after a traumatic birth. The pay is some of the best in the industry, as well as our benefits and they kick in day one. On the down side I feel like our progression  is heading more towards our cut throat corporate counterparts. We've lost a lot of benefits and some of the things implemented are causing severe burnout and it's clear it's not working. I think in order to maintain relevance and growth they've sacrificed employee care a bit. However it's to be expected, every company kills a little bit of your soul when they employ you.

I would use my badge to get into work and there I would go upstairs to the kitchen and grab breakfast that they provided for us. Then I would go down to the main floor, put on my headset and turn on my laptop. I begin taking calls some maybe easy but some are difficult. Since we only had a 2 day training because they needed so much help we didn't have a chance to go over everything. When we need help the only thing we're allowed to do is message our supervisor whose sitting 15 ft away for further instructions, but he's confused hisself because he didn't get the proper training.At this point the customer is frustrated because you have them on hold for so long. Just a mess, the best part was the food sadly.

At first you believe you're joining a company that cares about you but you quickly realize that it's a profits over people set up. The managers are tone deaf and too scared to tell the higher ups that their systems don't work. The directors of sales are out of touch, set unrealistic expectations and work their sales reps to the bone despite BDR's concerns. Total lack of empathy and deeply inhumane. You'll find yourself stressed out and depressed if you don't meet their crazy quota requirements when factors outside of your control don't allow you to perform up to them. All about the money and could care less about their employees. Money hungry pigs.
