Love the company, Hate working for it!

Pros

The pay, and the perks, ie. free netflix!

Cons

Terrible management! Very high schoolish. It is not how good you can do your job, its how good you are with your supervisor. Actual comment from a supervisor when asked to come in a couple minutes late for a school exam was "you need to think about what is important to you right now, school or your job." Supervisors are very self absorbed and if you are not all about them then you will be fired and off their team.

HIGH turnover Unhelpful Technical support No shift drop or pick ups Have fun getting yelled at for wait times and watch instantly issues! Open 24 hours 7 days a week but for a lot off issues support staff isn't available.

Netflix hires the best and brightest but realize that you are hired for one job and vertical movement is unlikely.

Pros

They hire great, hardworking people and the management is relentless and single focused in enforcing their mission statement and driving success in DVD rental by mail and online. Everyone who works there is of above average intelligence and ability and the jobs can be rewarding and demanding. They really do hire people who are autonomous and can own a process and you can rely on those around you to provide the support you need.

Cons

They do not focus on career development and would prefer to hire someone from the outside to be your boss or replace you rather than groom you to grow into a more senior position. There are a couple of core values that they preach but do not really follow through on. There is a very different culture between the LA office and the HQ which feels inconsistent with their value system.
