Pros

Family (dare I say cult) -like atmosphere. Great perks such as free food, great parties, constant happy hours. Very entrepreneurial spirit, if you want to take control and introduce a project, ideas are encouraged. Not very micro-managed. Free, open and creative minded.

Cons

Zappos is your life. On-call 24/7. Hard to have a life outside of Zappos. They love you until they don't. No regard for your welfare once you're "out". Very cliquish, much like a fraternity or sorority. No matter what they try to portray, it's still an "old boys club".

Pros

In the beginning of my time at the company, there were so many positives. I struggle to find a single one, now.

Cons

Everyone from old Zappos quit or was forced out and replaced by people who have clearly never had a job before, yet get paid way more than I do. Leadership is scarily terrible. I went to HR on leadership many times but they didn’t care and told me I was the problem for enjoying the “old Zappos”. I am not allowed to list specific names in my review or else “new Zappos” remove it, but do not join marketing for LACK of experienced, smart, and kind hearted leadership.
