Pros

Pays for driving time Covers gas expenses Paid for mileage

Cons

Schedules are very last minute and can change last minute as well Company does not consider your safety and sends you to very sketchy areas No insurance is offered, yet you are required to wipe kids noses and be in schools with sick kids Told you are usually done by noon but there are many days that you are asked to stay for pm classes Very early mornings, sometimes leaving by 4:30am Company may send you 100+ miles in each direction for one day

Pros

Strong since of community at local level, and support from Directors and regional managers however all that support is no longer employed.

Cons

Revolving CEO lead to new strategic focus every 3 years. Round after round of layoffs, mergers, restructures. I went through no less than 6 during my 5 years as a senior manager. Lost local control, and ability to build relationships with accounts. Closed offices based on lease agreements rather than area performance. I would be very careful to ask questions about culture, and tenure of staff, ask how many offices were closed or restructures have happened since Shutterfly, and then Apollo Global Capital. Apollo Global Management usually holds onto assets for 3-5 years, we are past that mark so I would be expecting that they will be breaking up Shutterfly in the near future if it is no longer profitable.
