Chewy reviews

Be prepared to make lots of personal sacrifices if you want to move up with this company. Vacation time is essentially frowned upon, and it's a requirement to be available and get necessary work done at home after a typical 11-hour work day, plus weekends.

The work culture is toxic and imported from Amazon. Senior leaders set broad goals which are made up of a long list of things they want to do, but realistically can’t do everything all at once. However, these leaders don’t define tradeoffs or prioritization across these goals. As a result, every team is competing with everyone else for resources to ensure they achieve their own goals, leading to constant conflict between teams and overly pushy team members. I’ve worked for a few companies, and I’ve never worked with so many demanding people with such poor manners (you’re more likely to be questioned why you aren’t doing more than thanked for the worked you’ve done). In terms of career growth, don’t expect any. Chewy is constantly moving the goal posts to make it harder to promote employees while at the same time building a pipeline of underqualified ex-Amazonians to come in and fill more senior roles. Also senior leadership is constantly turning over, and more often than not, it’s involuntary. As soon as your leader falls out of the good graces of the CEO, they will be replaced, meaning there’s no team stability.
