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

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.
