Pros

Good pay, decent office location, free snacks and drinks, lunch paid for and delivered to the office every Wednesday of the week

Cons

Coworkers, terrible manager with NO experience managing a team, unrealistic expectations of your work hours (12-16+ hours for higher up positions). Since you work with China, you have to understand that they are more focused on quantity rather than quality of their work. Since they work longer hours in China, that becomes the expectations for their American counterparts.

Pros

Cute puppies, dogs, and sometimes free food.

Cons

You will have to experience toxic work environment sometime around your 3rd month working here. There is a lot of drama prone people, gossip, negativity, and a pretty narcisstic boss. Yelling occurs sometimes without notice and it wasn't your fault at all. Micromanaged on multiple work because, there wasn't another position to fill in for those duties. Pay was very subpar and people will definitely tell you that you won't be getting any pay raise because, it is actually fixed. Pay promotion is actually rare because, not everyone makes it to their standards and they want you to work like robots and you rarely get a raise. Meet some nice people but unfortunately you will meet more fake nice people then actual nice people working here. Gossip is always happening, many people did tell me they don't want to work here no more, and they are going to move on. If you ever decide to work for Shein, just remember not everyone will be welcomed here on your first day because, so many people come in and out here. It feels very temporary to stay in an toxic/stressful environment. There is so many people pleasers here because, they want an name for themselves and it is just better to not get involved with any situation with drama, gossips and fake lies. Lets.. take about nepotism.. it is at an all time high and most likely you will find out about someone's background and realizing they got hired because, they knew someone in the company and only has mid level skills. It is just better to just find a different place to work in then this place then building upon a deadend experience.

Pros

Monthly half day Fridays with cocktail or snacking hour, small group of employees leading to close relations with coworkers, monthly coordinated events leading to meet a lot of influencers in the industry.

Cons

No overtime, no bonuses, 30 min lunches, barely any room to grow, "asian mentality", PTO is 4 days AFTER a year, sick days are accrued and can only accrue up to 24 hours within a year, lots of gossiping.
