Pros

Fun people to work with Easy to get hired Okay pay

Cons

Management has a big problem with lying their way though situations in order for you to accept job offers or job schedules. Little consideration for their employees. Waking up at 3 AM is an often occurrence and most jobs take you away from family for more than 24 hours. Unprofessional environment. I have been on multiple trips where alcohol and partying was a main attraction for working the school.

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.
