Pros

-Large and diverse client base -Employees aren't micromanaged

Cons

Where do I even begin? First of all, take a look at the reviews for PFSWeb, which is the parent company. That will give you a better idea of how things really are. Working here is just a popularity contest. The execs and upper management play favorites and if you're not part of their 'in' crowd, you're out of luck. Opportunities, praise, and blatant favoritism are given to the same small group of people over and over, while other hard working employees are constantly overlooked simply because they aren't part of the cult. Execs are constantly asking employees to write positive reviews on here, so take everything you are reading with a grain of salt. Most of it is fake, just like the people who work here. If you don't have some type of connection to the 'in' crowd, or didn't graduate from ACU, don't even bother applying because they won't take a second look at your application. Also, massive turnover is a huge issue. People are leaving left and right, and many people that are still here are actively searching for new opportunities.

Pros

Great people to work with, employees care a lot about what they do

Cons

Upper management cares little for good work or employee relations, is focused on expediency versus crafting well-thought-out work, and are scraping the bottom of the barrel to get clients. Employee morale is very low and apathy is rampant. It is a miserable place..

Pros

Some great brands to work on, which will look good on your CV.

Cons

The falseness that exudes from this business is immense. Be prepared to stab people in the back, and have the knife twisted too. At every level gossipers can be found, including senior management which should not be tolerated. No decorum found in any of the offices.
