Pros

Able to work independently. Can make your own decisions and get products on the page easily. Fun young people. Not stressful. The company is still developing so some of the processes are frustrating but things change constantly and you can suggest changes. Strong bonus/commission scheme

Cons

Quite monotonous and boring at times, doesn't feel as varied as a traditional buyers role, very sales based. Has a competitive atmosphere as you are constantly compared to everyone else, which is fine when you are doing well. I didn't feel like I was learning much, senior buyers do the same job really so not much to aim for.

People, leniency, unlimited pto, casual work environment

Disconnected leadership makes working here extremely frustrating. Changes are made that don’t directly help anything.
