Corporate Micromanagement

Pros

*Friendly, inclusive and accommodating corporate casual call center. *Solid benefits from day one, including things like attorney coverage and free therapy visits. *Predictable reliable schedule. *If you do work in the offices, snacks, drinks and lunches are always available. *Floor management genuinely wants to be helpful and encouraging. *Work from home available for most roles. *Acceptable starting pay. *Advancement is achievable.

Cons

*Bonus is anemic and rarely attainable. *KPI's can change each quarter; it begins to feel more like playing a sport than doing a job. *One to three apps are always monitoring your status. These apps do not always talk to each other properly, resulting in unnecessary reprimand notifications throughout the day. *Attendance and adherence is rewarded and punished with points. Employees must be vigilant to often catch erroneously added points, and rectification can only happen through ticket communication. *Interdepartmental communication can be inefficient, resulting often in unsolved problems. *Small if nonexistent amounts of time to complete and absorb major training for specialized departments. *The feeling of being chained to your desk by a headphone cable, listening to your ninth person in a row demand to speak to a manager because their credenza hasn't arrived from California to New Jersey in two days "like our website promised." *Constant change is not constant improvement. *Midlevel departments shift and dissolve regularly.

Pros

If I have to say something I’ll say pay is decent

Cons

I was with Wayfair for just over 6 years. At first it was wonderful when they cared about employees, and genuine customer service. I can’t say if the pandemic was the cause but that is what I attribute the change. It was like a switch was flipped. They stopped caring for employees, they stopped caring about customers. The CEO and his minions have revealed themselves as the evil they are. I was miserable there every day. Trying to hold back tears while logging in every morning. Leaving was the best thing I could have done for my mental health. I am writing this now because I have heard horror stories of employees that are still there and I want to save people from working for a truly awful employer. Maybe Wayfair will change, but I waited literal years for that to happen and it never did. So I wouldn’t hold my breath.
