Shipt is a special place to work!
Pros
Before I came to Shipt and while I interviewed, I asked anyone I knew to tell me their honest opinion of working at Shipt. I was told overwhelmingly positive things, and everyone I spoke with seemed so happy.....which seemed unrealistic to me. After more than year into my role, I can now say that they were not lying or sugar coating - Shipt truly is a special place to work. The people here genuinely care about the work that they do and the people with whom they work. I kept waiting for the shiny newness to wear off, but it is still here and gets stronger the longer I am here. Don't get me wrong, every job has its days, but the overwhelming majority are good days. Also, the benefits & perks are fantastic. You hear about some things before coming on, but there are perks galore that you don't even realize until you are a part of the team - that's always nice! Lastly, our leadership truly cares. Being in the role that I am, I sometimes get an inside look at real conversations between our leadership team. The passion and care that they show outwardly to our members & shoppers is real & heartfelt. It isn't just a script - they truly believe and rally behind the things they say. They also care deeply about our team at HQ. Never has this been more evident than during this time of Covid-19 & racial reckoning. I am so proud to work for Shipt - proud of the work that we do and the way that we serve people.
Cons
Shipt operates in a very fast-paced environment. Even though we are outwardly a delivery service, inwardly we are a nimble tech company, constantly adjusting to changes in demand, regulations, the market, etc. I enjoy the fast pace and the challenges that come with it, but it can be a lot to handle at times. If you thrive on a fast track, handle change well & have a knack at anticipating needs, this shouldn't be too much of an obstacle. But if you prefer a slower pace where things stay pretty much the same, this might not be the place for you.
