Pros

- Lots of opportunity for upward mobility within the company (especially within the sales org) - Once you have learned the industry and your role well, managers listen and are open to new ideas and feedback that help improve processes - We are a *busybusybusy* company, if you take initiative and are willing to put in the time and hard work, you will be recognized and rewarded - You will learn a huge amount about business, retail, product life cycle, supply chain management, logistics and so more by working here. What you learn here will benefit you throughout the rest of your career. - Lots of opportunity to explore different types of positions with different areas of expertise

Cons

- Because the company is growing very quickly, there can be long hours but I believe this is true anywhere, and a growing company is a healthy company - The "team and family" atmosphere isn't for everyone; if you don't like to build good relationships with your team and just want a place where you go in, talk to nobody and leave at the end of the day, this is probably not the place for you - It can be aggravating to see exec management get away with poor work quality which would not be tolerated from others at lower levels; I think this is a major issue that needs to be addressed

Pros

- Decent base salary if this is your first job out of University. - Free Swag - WFH Fridays - Smart and helpful colleagues

Cons

- Incredibly stressful, do NOT take this job if you do not have a high stress tolerance. - A ton of competing priorities that almost always require quick/immediate action. - You get a ton of emails and are expected to be able to pull up and reference any of them at a moments notice. - Constant whiplash between doing deep, focused work (presentation/catalogs) that have a ton of details and require your full attention versus quick/rapid fire tasks that you must address immediately. There were days where I was working on one presentation all day and couldn't get it done because of how much I was getting pinged to resolve other issues. - To get promoted you must essentially do the job of 2 people (CSC and PSA). Beyond that, there is no real career progression unless you want to go into sales. - Management always says to raise your hand if you need help. But when you ask for help, there is always pushback in the form of others having more task hours than you. - CEO took away one of the WFH days. When Qualtrics had negative feedback he essentially said "If you don't like it - then leave". He is a "Do as I say, not as I do." type of leader. - Workload and responsibilities are not commiserate to the salary.
