Pros

Working at Whatnot has easily been one of the better, if not best, job experiences I've had. They place an emphasis on the community they're building and you can see this through the hiring process, core principles and the overall job benefits.

Cons

The only downside with working at Whatnot has been the standard working from home cons, not being in an office where you can socialize with your co-workers. I will say, Whatnot does an amazing job at amending this by having flag ships in large cities and conducting company offsites for team building.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
