No longer the place it used to be

Pros

Coworkers were more like family than friends. They hired great people for the most part.

Cons

Every year that I worked at Shutterfly was worse than the last. They are on a constant downhill slope as far as employee moral and benefits go. I couldn't wait to leave Shutterfly after many years without a single pay promotion. Absolutely absurd.

Pros

Used to be a great company. I'm supposed to write 20 words, there's only so many ways to convey disappointment though

Cons

That sound you hear is an explosion. An explosion set off by the CEO, the CFO, and the CHRO. Unbelievable what they have done to a once amazing company. Jeff Housenbold and Dan McCormick must be laughing all the way to the bank. What a shame, what a sham

Pros

In the beginning it was great! You felt like you were going to be a part of a great company.

Cons

You come dead last as a production employee! Little to no warning of schedule change! Good people leaving!
