Pros

-Great Compensation -Strong Talent Acquisition -Most people at Chewy are great especially the employees -Great Brand and Vision

Cons

- Couple of leaders are toxic, fear-based leadership style, bullying, passive aggressive behavior -Alot of time is wasted on busy work that does not drive the business -Management is not doing a great job focusing and prioritizing -Unclear, inconsistent and often unrealistic expectations -Very high turn over- people leave or are pushed out weekly. Many people have chosen to leave the company without jobs lined up-that's how bad the environment has gotten -No work life balance- be ready to work minimum 70-80 hours weekly. You will most likely burn out in this company. Do not expect your hard work or results to get recognized -Your peers are included in perfomance calibrations further fueling the cut throat environment -Sadly, Chewy has lost its great culture

Pros

Weekly pay is nice to have, and necessary at such a low rate pay. Special teams no longer come with a raise.

Cons

1. Since the founders sold the company to Pet Smart it is a job only, and not a pleasant one A. CS Mgmt ruined the communication between departments. New Oracle system forces you to put resolution of customer problem in a queue and out of your hands. No longer possible to resolve many issues on first call. This has lead to angry customers calling in multiple times with escalating anger for resolution B. Pharmacy is a mess. No communication between it and CS. Many times have found Rx on file for 48 hrs or more, with no Pharmacy follow through. So much for Oracle queueing. C. CS Mgmt cut training from 3 weeks to 2 weeks without restructuring the training program efficiently. With such a high turnover rate and no Development Department to speak of, CSR'S coming out of training are incapable of handling many issues, leading to more angry customers calling in for a third or 4th time to get resolution. D. Recurring orders are now processing 24 to 48 hours early. Nightmare and bounced checks for customers. Not to mention the questionable ethics of such a decision. E. Leadership is hard to find in the floor. Leads are no longer able to focus on their team and spend more time on escalation calls. F. Leadership on floor now delegated to BOO, or back office Oracle. This team is understaffed and poorly trained, taking multiple chats from CSR's trying to resolve issues for customers. Several minutes will go by before getting a usually canned response from BOO agents Customers get very frustrated with the excessive time it takes to get a response
