If you are in the "Internet Operations" side of the company, the work can be challenging, exhausting and stressful.

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation is right in range with other companies and the room for growth is high, but that is if you have the potential. I have learned quite a bit in my time here already. There is an enjoyable environment in the office (but combined with stress).

Cons

For the department I work in, there is an extremely high churn rate (leaving after a few months). Some people just aren't cut out for this job. This puts even more stress on our already understaffed crew. Work-life balance is difficult at times. There can be too many large projects going on simultaneously. Also, I loved Treat.com... but I could understand they would get rid of the service if they were integrating it into one of their other brands or it just wasn't profiting.

Pros

Clean work environment, highly developed and tested production machinery, employee storage lockers, dining facility

Cons

I felt like a number and not a valued individual, no notice of discharge, bad communication between supervisor and subordinates, length of contract did not result out to what was initially discussed.
