Poor Leadership, Worst Culture - don't be tricked by the recruiters - Manager Chewy Employee Review

The treatment of employees is horrible and disrespectful. Leadership is secretive and reminds me of all the articles that I've read about Snapchat and Uber's toxic cultures. Maybe that is a fit for you, but it doesn't vibe well for me and others. There is absolutely no growth or career development at Chewy (even though they preach it), which makes me want to leave, but I can't at this moment due to my financial situation. The PTO policy treats you like a child - you will need a doctors note if you are absent from work. The CEO, Ryan, really smart, but made very questionable hires - by hiring his childhood friends and shows no care for his employees. If you don't fall within the "inner circle" you are left in the dark and treated poorly - I look around and see closed door meetings going on with the chiefs. The don't look like meetings, but hangout time with buddies. Honestly, there are so many other great companies in SoFlo and in other cities, but Chewy is not one of them. Don't be fooled - if you have other options I would seriously consider them.
