Pros

They are a large ecommerce company in LA You can learn what to do and not to do

Cons

- It is a Chinese company in a western competitive environment - The company's income has declined every year since 2008 - The company's gross margins are shrinking every years. - Amazon is its main competitor and it is stomping newegg - the company is run top down. none of the managers have any say. they are all clowns who do what the boss tells them. the boss is not smart and treats people like garbage. - employees are discouraged from making decisions. if they make a mistake they are "disaplined" or fired. - the company discriminates against non-chinese...there are court cases that were settled to this effect. they recently fired or got rid of 10-20 americans...which is most of the staff...the rest are asian - they lie all the time about the company going public...with the results they have they could never go public - the founder wants people to work 12 hour days and not to pay for them. he threatens people all the time. - the management turns over all the time - the staff turns over all the time

Great learning opportunities with exposure to multiple aspects of the business. Fast-paced environment that encourages continuous growth and adaptability. Clear team structure and well-defined responsibilities, allowing employees to stay focused and execute efficiently. Plenty of opportunities to take ownership of projects and make a meaningful impact. Collaborative teams and strong cross-functional communication.

Cons

As a global company with a diverse workforce, communication styles can vary across teams. In some situations, discussions may take place in languages other than English, which can occasionally create challenges for employees who are not fluent in those languages.
