Pros

The stock has been doing well so comp is about it

Cons

Our CEO who can’t keep his mouth shut during quarterly shareholder meetings is insistent on following other Fortune 500 CEOs on his RTO stance instead of actually making Chewy a great place to work. He has such a way with words: “All team members will be in the office 3 days a week, but don’t worry we only plan to go up to 4 days a week starting next year, not five”. What a joke. The company is super concerned about margins being a public company but thinks expanding its office space is the way to go rather than dumping it. Most teams are spread across all four offices, so the toted “collaboration benefit” and “non zoom first approach” just isn’t there.

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.
