Pros

A great product that people really love and some people at the company are very passionate and nice people.

Cons

HR-wise: - Strange lack of communication with exec team and HR. HR would post job openings without talking to exec team to confirm if it was even the right role/timing. - It took over a month to hear back from HR after I received a verbal offer. When I checked in multiple times, the HR rep said they had sent the formal offer to my Amy's email. How would I have an Amy's email if I wasn't an employee yet...? - One of the most valued, dedicated, and hardworking people in the dept. was let go with zero warning and was publicly walked out in the middle of the day. - Lack of PTO (less than industry average) and some were expected to work weekends for events with zero comp time offered. - Lactation rooms: A room that nursing women were using for lactation was eliminated with no notice. Leadership-wise: - No women in leadership roles and the sales team ( a group of homogeneous older white men) clearly runs the company. Overheard several patronizing comments from head salespeople to top marketing management that happened to female. - Founders often hire close friends for top roles and these people had zero management or leadership skills - Lack of thinking differently despite that being a "value." - A lot of top leaders who were innovative and creative either were fired or moved on to another company so there was a lack of strong leaders to look up to.

Pros

It's a job... they will hire people without any relevant degrees or experience for supervisory level roles.

Cons

The pay for management roles in a high cost of living area is lower than in Arkansas. They cannot attract any new talent and keep promoting the same handful of tired under-qualified, overworked, and under-educated people for higher and higher roles. It is a joke. They basically merged 2 departments and eliminated a large number of jobs last year. Everyone does 2-3 jobs now for the same pay. Oh..wait, they gave people a 50 cent per hour raise,,,what a joke! They ordered quality department leadership to all work in this small room, 4 people in one 4x10 room, in a filthy office with dirt and dust falling constantly from the ceiling vents. If anyone complained they were written up. They have not been able to hire a quality manager in a year, saying that nobody wants to work anymore. Aha...nobody wants to work at Amy's anymore for lower than market rate pay and horrible working conditions,
