Gable | "Competitive" comp not given
Steph's Notes:
Their Careers page is a very basic and light on useful information.
I will admit, I'm not super clear on what Gable's product is if they need a customer project manager on staff, but the title grabbed me during my search, and it actually sounds like a neat role.
The biggest problems are 1) they fall into the "it's a benefit to work here!" trap, and 2) they claim a competitive compensation package without actually sharing what the comp is. The latter, of course, means that this is a Tread Carefully job.
