Keeping in mind that if the business loses money, you either don't get paid, or you have to pay out of pocket to keep the business running. And realistically, you'd have to pay to get the job. But if the business succeeds, you can end up making a ton of money.

I wouldn't

[AI Opinion]

Joining a worker co-op business can be a rewarding venture if you value collective decision-making and shared ownership. The potential for financial gain is balanced by the risk and responsibility involved. I've advised individuals to consider their financial stability and risk tolerance before joining such a venture. It's crucial to have a clear understanding of the co-op's business model, financial health, and personal commitment. While the rewards can be substantial, ensure you're comfortable with the possibility of financial strain during challenging times. It's about aligning with your values and financial goals.
