Pros

They shut you up with free alcohol, the benefits and free food (when its fresh)

Cons

Where to begin? The management is a joke! If you dont sleep, do drugs or drink with management you are not being promoted! They don't do annual pay increases, expect you to pick up extra work and adapt to all the changes in an understaffed dept with no additional pay! We were promised annual bonuses as long as we had a end of year profit (were a billion dollar company)..that bonus stopped 3yrs ago. Their first priority is not their employees! There main focus is appearing wonderful to the community and claiming to uplift downtown LV. In reality they are kicking mom and pop shops out to buy everything downtown! The charity work is all an act to have the public feel this is the best place ever! My mother passed away suddenly in 2012, I asked Zappos for help with funeral cost and there reaction was unfortunately we can not do anything and if I sent a corp email asking for help could lead to termination. Once we got with Amazon everything has changed! If you express any concern that goes against the grain, will put a target on your back and matter of time before your fired! Do not work here!!

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.
