Pros

Lots of funding towards work that improves the customer experience, still very much in growth mode.

Cons

Some really, really immature leadership. I have observed more title-dropping here than any other company I’ve worked for. Many of the people I work with on a daily basis are from Amazon, and have brought some unpleasant elements of that culture along with them (backstabbing, politicking). That combined with the limited leadership experience of people of have been with Chewy from the early days creates a very toxic and chaotic environment. There was an email distributed about a forthcoming employee survey that never materialized. Communication is severely lacking. Vendor facing employees were not armed with information about the recent BC transaction. The first ever town hall was in March, but since then there has been no messaging from the top. There is an overall lack of partnership and coordination that makes the day-to-day painful. Zero tuition reimbursement or employee development that I have seen.

Pros

I am an artist and I get to do an art-related job. The schedule is flexible when things pop up. I get health insurance and 401k and a lot of free food, and there is free gym access in the office building. The people I work with are all generally very cool, friendly, and/or fun to work with.

Cons

The pay rate is below the industry standard for production artists. I am not able to afford a place of my own. I live with my parents and I work another job to supplement my income. I am basically surviving and able to pay all my bills, but I would not be able to live a full life on my own with the pay rate as it is now. The work culture portrays itself as progressive and inclusive place but it is the typical corporate toxic environment.
