Vantaggi

Cool people. A generally fun environment.

Svantaggi

A lot. You're not going to really go anywhere because the tech stack seems stuck in, say, 2012. Look at the client app - see it runs in scaled mode and that's likely the best way to describe the technology. "Dated." And no one really cares. If you haven't learned anything new in the last decade and want to deal with a broken system that cannot possibly scale and crashes on the daily because no one cares enough to pay technical debt - this is likely your spot. And if you want to show what is possibly the ugliest UI on your CV. This is not a place that cares about technology. Your only challenge as a developer will be fixing things that are horribly broken or finding yourself in terrible design patterns you'll hate yourself for following because you have to. If you want to fix them, it won't happen. Beyond that; you have to pay to park on the Sunset Strip. The pay is below market standard. The equity offered is practically nothing. The office layout is a sad joke and you'd be lucky to have a decent chair - which someone will probably steal. Technologically; Wag is probably the saddest company I've ever seen. Considering every other startup in LA; there's pretty much no reason to even consider this joint unless you're at your wit's end.

Vantaggi

The pro of using Wag is that you get a couple dollars to keep your body moving.

Svantaggi

Sometimes it can prove difficult to manage your own time with variabilities on these walks. In an apartment complex? +10 min to find it. Stomach wrapped harness and a nervous dog? +15 min to soothe the dog to they'll let you put it on. Excited dog home-alone without even a collar?? +15 minutes attempting different strategies to get close enough to put on the harness. Owners do not always provide poop bags. The app could be better - there are several alerts and reminders that are needlessly repetitive when you use it regularly. You have to click through the same 5 reminders before every walk to get the access information. I understand it was designed for safety, but it just adds minutes (one at a time) to your day for no reason. There doesn't seem to be any lock-screen widget for the app, so you have to unlock your phone every time you need to log a pee, poo, or check how much time is left on the walk. Wag a big chunk of the earnings. I believe it's about 40%, which is a LOT. An actor's agent only gets 20%.
