Pros

There ARE not many. Learning proper grammar is one of them. ShipStation, really does have an open door policy. There is a front door, back door, and a side door. You get to choose the one you like when you are fired without warning. Management likes to hear your opinion as long as you agree with them. Getting promoted is easy, you just have to suck up to the CEO and take him to lunch a few times a week. Become his buddy and share dirty jokes. All in all I think this is a great place to work if McDonalds isn't hiring.

Cons

I have worked at a lot of places, big companies, small companies, but I have to give it to ShipStation. I have never worked anywhere that did not have an HR person. That's really awesome when you are harassed by your manager and have no one to turn to for assistance. With the purchase by Stamps.com, there is a sort of an HR department I guess. However, after reading the Glassdoor comments for Stamps, it does not look like that is a great option. If the CEO could count on his fingers and toes, he would have realized the bathroom and parking facilities were insufficient the day the lease was signed for the current space. Part of growing a company is leasing a space that has room for growth. A company that values it employees, is a company that trusts it's employees and shares what is happening behind the scenes. When the company is purchased for $50 million in cash and you share less than 1% with your employees, that says a lot about how much you really value us. How much of your stamps.com stock are you going to share with us?

Pros

They have copy and pasted the basic crap you hear about every start-up. You get free snacks, occasional free meals, a free t-shirt and some swag.

Cons

There are not enough desks for the amount of people who work here. The weekly meetings are pointless. The compensation is awful compared to the amount of the work you are asked to do. The training doesn't set you up for success. If you want time off, you need to find someone to cover your shift, holidays included. 60% of the staff were once Apple Retail Employees. This is not a start-up despite what they may tell you. It's owned by Stamps.com which is already public and no one has stock options. The old timers say there were not options prior to the buy out either. The holiday season is a complete nightmare as well. Obviously this is a huge time for shipping and they are not staffed appropriately. This apparently happens every year but the CEO is unwilling to relieve the pain this backlog of work causes every year.

Pros

I have worked at a lot of places, big companies, small companies, but I have to give it to ShipStation when it comes to treating people right. People really do listen to what you want. Management has an open door policy, and everyone is always willing to hear what you have to say. People who work hard and want to get ahead, do just that. Getting promoted is not hard, since they do open up all the positions internally before they open them up externally. They do consider all candidates and make a decision based on who will fit the role the best. We get lunch on a weekly basis, so that is always great. All in all I think this is a great place to work if you are looking to work hard and be a dedicated part of a team. The people with longevity here like to work as a team, encourage each other, and get excited when we all do well.

Cons

There is not many. One thing I really do not like is that since we are growing so fast, the facilities are getting little crowded. So going to the bathroom might be a challenge and the parking is getting tricky. I know that this is just a part of growing though.
