Pros

Great benefits, stock options, flexibility to work from home and adjust schedule as needed, program and education reimbursement, unlimited PTO, transparency on company performance and objectives, focus on mental health and wellbeing, tools and training provided per role, asks for feedback from all associates on management, desired recognition or rewards, friendly and helpful employees, focus on inclusion, diversity, and women's equality. I have actually worked at this company on 3 separate occasions. I keep coming back!

Cons

Cross-functional work doesn't have a solid process and can be difficult to prioritize work. There are some departments or teams much more focused on team building than others.

Pros

I love the way 1-800 operates. Leadership is very forward thinking and disruptive in changing the way people see the world. It is so refreshing to be part of a company that is so big-hearted.

Cons

If you can't keep up, this isn't the place for you.

Pros

Flexible scheduling, great system to trade shifts with coworkers, bonuses, coaching, 401K match, great health benefits for 30+hour workers, great company culture of positivity, inclusion, caring and working together to be the best at what we do, work at home options, discounts for employees and family members on eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses, lots of drawings and give aways throughout the year for employees to win, occasional Town Halls from CEOs and upper management to keep everyone informed, overall a really great place to work!

Cons

must meet minimum expectations (but they aren't hard), must work your full assigned shift on time and take breaks on time to avoid penalties, must be able to multitask and navigate the computer and internet competently, minimum starting wage $15
