Pros

Go there if you need money for the Fall.

Cons

I originally worked 4pm-12am. Then the company had issues with computers and internet connectivity. We worked 4pm to 2am Monday through Friday. I was given less than a day's notice to work long hours on Saturday's. No listening to music allowed but the company has one CD playing the same 12 songs for hours. The job requirements ask for Photoshop knowlege but I was not working with Photoshop or doing any editing skills. The people treat you like a number.

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.
