Pros

Friendly co-workers Glassdoor requires 5 word minimum for "pros" I can't even come up with 5 positive words for the company. Don't work here.

Cons

Poor mileage reimbursement system Very low wages Inconsistent work schedule - will work you to death for 2-3 months then no work for 1-3 months No opportunities to move up Health benefits are very hard to get and keep unless it's a salary position Work schedule makes it difficult to hold a second job

Pros

Strong since of community at local level, and support from Directors and regional managers however all that support is no longer employed.

Cons

Revolving CEO lead to new strategic focus every 3 years. Round after round of layoffs, mergers, restructures. I went through no less than 6 during my 5 years as a senior manager. Lost local control, and ability to build relationships with accounts. Closed offices based on lease agreements rather than area performance. I would be very careful to ask questions about culture, and tenure of staff, ask how many offices were closed or restructures have happened since Shutterfly, and then Apollo Global Capital. Apollo Global Management usually holds onto assets for 3-5 years, we are past that mark so I would be expecting that they will be breaking up Shutterfly in the near future if it is no longer profitable.
