Pros

Good pay. Starts at $16.50 per hour. Lots of overtime available. Easy job. They take good care of customers.

Cons

Time off turns into points, dr appointments turn into points and will most likely lead to review for term. Hr truly cannot relate to their employees and they couldn’t care less. They don’t take care of their employees.

Pros

- Friendly coworkers make it easy to reach out to peers with questions and make work friends - Small office perks like snacks, beer on Fridays, quarterly parties etc.

Cons

- Change at Wayfair is rampant and can be overwhelming in terms of management restructuring, reporting tools constantly being outdated with new updates and ways to use them, processes are constantly being changed - The external hiring of senior management sets the company back and is honestly disrespectful to other internal candidates that are much more knowledgeable of the company and deserving - Way too much bureaucracy goes into moving forward with projects and getting your specific product classes in queue for certain projects - we are basically competing against each other - Experiences differ for people according to their manager; micro-management, demeaning conversations, non-reception to any feedback, unclear/unrealistic expectations can be common with new managers - non-competitive pay

Lots of technical debt.

Pros

Booming stock price, aggressive promote-from-within culture. Unlike many firms, company realizes it's primarily a technology company.

Cons

HQ above Copley Place mall is badly overcrowded. Odd technology stack with lots of technical debt, which results in all sorts of odd bugs creeping into production.
