A solid 75% of the company are middle aged white men. Diversity is not the companies strong suit, however I have experienced no discrimination when looking through applications or sitting in on interviews. They want people with the best experience, but often look for people who will fit within the environment. If you are not in a management position, they simply do not have the money to pay you even industry standard. And your pay feels even worse when the president is flown to and from Portland weekly on the companies dime and rents an apartment in the pearl. Don't be fooled by the brand new Bentley Continental Number 9 Edition, they won't pay well, at least not for you. Many people are 'let go' because they challenge the brand, or ask for direction. The company has been around for over a year, and they still do not know who we are selling to and who to market to. (lots of) Money is spent fast and for ridiculous things. They would much rather pay to be at the top for 5 minutes than build brand loyalty and a brand that people want to be a part of. Also, if you work at HQ, you get the good coffee, the good snacks, and free tea/soda/water. If you work at fulfillment, you pee in a trailer and are provided a vending machine if you want to pay for a soda.
Lastly, every 90 days there are a round of layoffs because that is when investors come into town and tell the board they are spending too much money and cannot afford our paychecks.
