Pros

The overall atmosphere is pretty decent. Lots of company social events both during and after work hours. Getting time off for appointments etc. was pretty easy. Company leadership seems to genuinely care about employees and customers. Plenty of overtime, so pay was generally pretty good.

Cons

Insufficient training on front end. Advancement promised but never seemed to happen. Also there seemed to be a serious disconnect between middle management and the ground-level employees,like maybe the supervisors were unaware of the real issues on the work floor.

It's a total mess.

Pros

- You get to come to work as casual as you want. Actually ended up being a con as dealing with people who obviously hadn't showered in a day or two was a little off putting. - All sports all the time. Again in some ways became a con as there was work to be done after every major sporting event, making it hard to actually enjoy sports. That's about it.

Cons

- Working tirelessly through the major holiday season instead of being with family should be enough to turn most people off to this place. Making all employees sacrifice their lives from November 1 - December 31 mainly due to the unstable infrastructure in place and getting nothing but a "Good job" makes it terrible enough. An online retail company should feel confident that they will perform during the busiest buying season of the year without making it all hands on deck. -No real room for growth here. With the new regime in place, it became pretty apparent that if you're not in San Francisco you'd might as well not even work there. -Archaic infrastructure as mentioned before. Constantly putting out fire after fire instead of focusing on bettering the environment. If you are in IT, you will spend a considerable amount of time troubleshooting issue after issue. -Don't expect any real guidance from management. Just go in, do your job and have meeting after meeting to provide countless status updates. The overall score of this place speaks for itself. I would rate it 0 stars if it were possible. Read the reviews and decide for yourself, but the numbers don't lie on this one.
