Pros

Good salary + stock Lots of challenging work, lots of customers Great smart colleagues in engineering - no jerks

Cons

leadership doesn't inspire confidence and inspire in general multiple recent rounds of layoffs and reorgs founders say we are in a very strong financial position, laugh at the competition, and then do a huge layoff a month later and close a bunch of warehouses

Pros

Supportive Regional manager for sites

Cons

Lack of Accountability (Passing the Buck): Decision-making often lacks ownership, resulting in frustration and confusion when problems arise—issues are shifted rather than addressed. Unrealistic Expectations with Reduced Labor Budget: Increased performance expectations paired with significant cuts to labor budgets leave teams stretched thin and unable to meet demands effectively. High Turnover Among Operational Associates: The combination of workload pressure and no up-word movement leads to frequent employee departures at the associate level. Burnout Among Site Leaders: Site leaders are overwhelmed by the demands of managing intense workloads with insufficient staffing and appropriate labor hours support, has led to burnout and diminished morale. Insufficient Support Structures: There is a noticeable gap between what is expected of employees and the support (training, tools, manpower) provided to help them succeed. Reactive Rather Than Strategic Planning: Operational strategy often feels short-sighted, with decisions made on the fly rather than through proactive, long-term planning.
