Pros

Free unlimited movie rentals Good Pay for the area Unlimited vacation - there is a caveat to this You can say you worked in the movie industry

Cons

Never being treated as a human being was my main complaint. The turnover was and still is ridiculously high. The "no rules" culture sounds good on paper, but in practice is awful because there is never any true direction. Employees are held to a certain expectation but are never told what that expectation is. The unlimited vacation also sounds good on paper, but it is almost impossible to take time off. They deliberately keep the employees in the dark and then chastise and even terminate their employment doing something wrong. It felt like upper management just did things to cover their backside and let everyone else take the fall when things weren't going as planned. There was no development of people whatsoever.

Pros

Great compensation for those of us that started before Netflix became a household name. Some of the best benefits available; especially vacation time alloted after 90 days. Stock options that really turned into something. Begin able to say you work for Netflix. Everyone knows what it is now!

Cons

LONG hours and hours that never stabilized. Became a machine repair person at the hub; spending most of my time fixing equipment problems at the end. Had all the vacation in the world but almost impossible to get time off approved especially if you wanted to take multiple days in a row off.

Pros

Most of the people are highly motivated and fun to work with. Smart group of individuals. Good at finding efficiencies

Cons

Long Hours... Vacations, forget about it. I was told when I started that they will always be upfront and honest. I was told I would never be blindsided..... Until the day they let me go with zero explaination. I only can assume it was because I voiced concern of some individuals questionable behavior on offsite meetings. WIshy washy HR. Supervisors can be let go for anything, but hourly associates once permanent employees are feared and very little is done to be rid of them. Unless you steal or do drugs, you can get away with alot.
