No Longer the Job I Used to Love
Pros
Wayfair has good benefits and fun fringe benefits such as parties and the beer fridge.
Cons
Wayfair has increasingly moved towards outside hiring instead of internal promotions. I have personally applied for several positions where I was either not given any feedback or where I was not even given an interview. Then later found that the position had been filled with an external hire. Worse, during a temporary management position, I found out that I did not get the full time management position when the new hire was announced during the daily manager meeting. Upper management has stated to my department "You do not have the skillset to warrant a higher rate of pay" in spite of us being require to know the procedures and skills of all the other departments with which we work. The rapid growth of the company has led to a dilution of the culture. It's no longer the fun place I used to love. Standards are different between locations. There are clear and documented differences between the standards each location is held to.
