Pros

- Whatnot is an extremely fast growing marketplace company that has the opportunity to make transformational changes in the US retail environment. Working within that every day can be really exciting. - The Whatnot leadership team is intelligent, inspiring, and transparent. They care about employees on the individual level and work to make you feel like you are a part of something bigger than yourself. - Coworkers are extremely collaborative, humble, and fun to work with. Across teams it is clear that there is a specific culture that is being built and adhered to with each hire.

Cons

- Collaboration between teams (product, marketing, GTM, Ops) could be better. As we've grown bigger as quickly as we have, it's been challenging to keep track of everything that is being worked on to make sure it is aligned effectively which is common at startups like this.

Strong culture, leadership really encourages feedback and listens/acts. I feel very supported by my manager and loyal to the company and the mission

Whatnot is all-consuming sometimes, but none of the work feels like a waste of time like at other companies

Pros

Good healthcare and good benefits.

Cons

Increasingly corporate culture Benefits slowly being rolled back every year Must use PTO for any holidays you want off as Ops agent/specialist Utter lack of leadership. Revolving door of managers because they refuse to promote internally for years Repetitive, dull work Toxic work culture. Very petty people in management who don’t accept anything but yes men Virtually no training established and hardly any SOPs written. What little there are of both are very poorly executed (aka people brand new to the work doing the training) No upward mobility whatsoever Arbitrary pay scales and performance reviews not necessarily aligned with performance or tenure. Disclaimer: experience entirely dependent on what team you’re on. Avoid T&R like the plague.
