Pros

First, the people. I am surrounded by some of the smartest, most dedicated, and innovative individuals. It's both inspiring and humbling to be part of a team that continually pushes the boundaries of what's possible. Second, transparency. Our leadership team takes the time to communicate openly about the company's goals, challenges, and strategies. Third, our CEO and Co-Founder. Their vision, passion, and dedication to our company are truly remarkable. Which then trickles to the entire company being passionate about Whatnot's success. Lastly the benefits are incredible and speak for themselves!

Cons

Typical start up growing pain, a lot of changes to keep up with

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.
