      Great place to work

      Pros

      Amazing culture – GREAT work-life balance PTO policy, supportive/encouraging managers/leadership, growth/educational/convention opportunities, coworkers you actually like to work with, hybrid work schedule, super supportive teams, and a surprisingly high amount of just good good people. Perks: Onsite chef/grille with ridiculously inexpensive meals, great company-wide events, super fun team builds, onsite gym, free eye care. Dumb but true: Really great facilities – everything is so clean ALL the time. And also dumb but true: 10/10 playlists in the bathrooms. Honestly, I've never been so happy with a boss, my team, the culture, and the people at work.

      Cons

      Maybe I'm easy to please but I really don't have issues with 1-800. It's a great place to work. I mean it's a job. It's not living a life on the beach, so I guess that's a con, but that's also a con for every job ever. But I guess if Living Life on the Beach is ever hiring and paid competitively, I'd leave 1-800 for that.

      Thank you for the glowing review! And thank you for continuing to add to – as you put it – our amazing culture. We’ll continue to fend off the “Living Life on the Beach” talent acquisition team by working to remain one of the best places to work. 😊

      Great company all around

      Pros

      Good management that actually cares about their employees. Plenty of opportunities for job growth. A lot of benefits. Honestly this job helped me to get back on my feet at a time when I was really struggling. Everyone will have their own opinions but I really feel like this company is worth trying to see if you fit.

      Cons

      Pay is a bit lower, generally a low average for the area. Management is not perfect just like at any job. There will always be someone you do not get along with no matter where you work, 1800 is not an exception to this.

      A company that embraces its values

      Pros

      The leadership team is the best I have ever worked with. They are humble, but bold and not afraid to make difficult decisions. They take time to listen and truly understand the needs of employees, customers and owners. As a large private company, all employees have stock options, which I have never seen before. Definitely one of my favorite places I have ever worked.

      Cons

      I have very few if any cons for working at 1-800. As a smaller company, there are fewer opportunities for promotions at the higher levels, but other than that, I have really enjoyed my time with the company
