Pros

Great culture, tons of lateral opportunities, great chance to meet tons of people and be part of a fun social company. This company's primary focus is the just out-of-college person who is looking to build a career and start a great resume. Great owners/founders (Niraj and Steve) who biult a great company and are passionate about what they do.

Cons

It's not known as Wellfair for nothing. The B2B sales program is an absolute joke and you will be lied to as to the commission structure. In my initial interview I was told 55K was the median (27K salary + 28K commission). Avg monthly commission across 2 bonuses (revenue + rotating monthly bonus) was about $800/month (w/ salary only about 37K/year). They will also tell you they have a 6 month ramp-up for promotion into the Senior sales team. In my year there, 2 people were promoted (out of approx 16), some of which had been there a year and a half. If your looking for a new sales opportunity, please avoid this position at all costs. Recent changes include an updated salary of 30K/year but the bonuses have been decimated at both the junior and senior sales levels. I was one of about 6 that have left in the past 2 months (with many others looking elsewhere).

Pros

If you want to work for a technology-first Ecommerce company that truly values its employees, look no further. The Marketing department (under Ed Macri), is full of top-notch people who are a treat to work with.

Cons

The marketing department is so well respected, people get poached by other top companies, so there tends to be some turnover, although there is no managerial resentment. The leaders seem really happy to see their employees succeed.
