Not CLT - Amazon and the Downtown Project
Pros
You'll make a least one life long friend. There's a Casual dress code. Full benefits, small 401k match. Free soup, salad, drinks, fruit, ice cream and coffee. Opportunity to transfer to other departments/jobs. Employee discount on Zappos.com and 6pm.com.
Cons
Two events have happened that brought down moral: 1. Amazon owns Zappos - piece by piece Zappos is losing great employees because of the time consuming/stressful Amazon integration projects. Most projects center around replacing Zappos systems with Amazon technology, the projects are always sold as great opportunities. But things never work out as promised. 2. Zappos headquarter's move from the suburbs of Henderson to old Downtown Las Vegas. Tony Hsieh came up with the idea to move the headquarters to Downtown Las Vegas. Since then every company event is downtown, talks about downtown or tries to force feed you into moving your whole life downtown. When you have a CEO that is solely focused on trying to sell you on moving buildings instead of figuring out company direction/strategy then you know the future cannot be good.
