Pros

THE PAY, AT FIRST THEN NOTHING

Cons

The office is looking like a warehouse with all of the boxes piling up. Does not look professional. And they discriminate. They only hire people under the age of 40, if that. I had seen many people come in to interview for positions, and the heard the jokes about the ones older than 35 when the people left after their interview, and how they would not hire them because of age. I heard one person in management state that even though they were more than qualified, the reason they would not hire them, is that they were afraid they would get their job. Sad. I quit because it was appalling.

Pros

Flexible hours and great coworkers. Big new fancy office. Plenty of verbal praise and head patting.

Cons

Chewy.com is much more concerned with how they appear to customers and future employees than how they treat current CSRs. Upper management commonly ventures onto glass door not to learn from reviewers, but to create fake reviews to balance out what they don't want people to hear. There is constant miscommunication between upper management. Boot licking is an absolute must if you wish to move up in the company.

Pros

Plenty of great colleagues who are motivated individuals and want to grow the business. Unlimited Time Off is an amazing benefit. Friendly office, lots of pets!

Cons

CEO is incredibly involved in day to day decisions that should be managed by his C-suite. Under his tenure, men have been promoted and hired into senior leadership and women have been passed over and departed. Organizationally its unclear who is really responsible for what until...you are held suddenly tasked (surprise) for delivering on something. Stakeholders aren't accountable so everything you build is an individual effort and there is no accountability for bad behavior that spins people round and round. So many *priorities* but they are really just fire drills and very few are impactful. Communication is through Directors/VPs so if you aren't at that level you won't have any idea what is going on...at all. Qualified people don't get promoted. There has been so much attrition that its unbelievably unorganized. As a junior person you can learn a lot .... about how you shouldn't run a company!
