Pros

Very good benefits. Medical and dental are amazing. They throw a lot of events for the staff. If you are in a good department, you have a lot of freedom.

Cons

The much touted Zappos culture is a tool management uses to hire their unqualified buddies. Your skills and experience will be completely overlooked, and they consider this to be a positive. Unless you are dating someone high up or going to the same church, there will be no opportunities for you. You are offered insulting incentives like coloring books. Regardless of your work ethic or actual skill, you constantly have to be afraid that the wrong person will deem you not "friendly" or positive enough (they monitor your social media usage) , and you will get a culture talk and disappeared.

Pros

In the beginning of my time at the company, there were so many positives. I struggle to find a single one, now.

Cons

Everyone from old Zappos quit or was forced out and replaced by people who have clearly never had a job before, yet get paid way more than I do. Leadership is scarily terrible. I went to HR on leadership many times but they didn’t care and told me I was the problem for enjoying the “old Zappos”. I am not allowed to list specific names in my review or else “new Zappos” remove it, but do not join marketing for LACK of experienced, smart, and kind hearted leadership.
