Pros

-Everyone that works at Newegg hates it. But we all band together into a tight-knit family due to us having a common enemy... THE EGG. -They provide water to keep us alive

Cons

-No room for growth -$10 Ralphs Gift Card Bonuses (seriously.. this was our bonus) -Underpaid by giving you titles that cannot transfer to anything outside of the company -Poor work environment -No play... YOU MUST WORK WORK WORK until you feel like throwing up -Gave us a ping pong table, and then told us we couldn't play with it during our lunch break... soo we basically could never play with it... sooo the ping pong table never really existed.... -You won't get a promotion or raise unless you threaten to quit. -Senior management is a joke... They all need to be fired...actually just sell the company for god sakes. -If you can't speak chinese, good luck understanding the gossip going around. -warehouse workers are imported from China and forced to work ridiculous hours with little pay because they are trying to get their green card by slaving away their lives. -The company makes billions, where does all that money go?? It doesn't... Because It never existed in the first place. *Cough* manipulating reported #s *Cough* -Took away our free breakfast on fridays -10% discount HA! -stay away from PM -Executives are shady... like I mean REALLY SHADY. Don't believe their fake promises. -So much more but my fingers are getting tired from typing...

Tyrannical Dictatorship

Pros

A great place for employees who want to come to work at set hours and having to just follow orders. Critical thinking is not necessary as it is not allowed.

Cons

The C-Suites like to talk about corporate culture and how it needs to change, yet they fail to see or accept that they don’t want the culture to change as they truly run it like an authoritarian dictatorship. They get a rise out of causing chaos to mask their ineptness. The CEO surrounds himself with lackeys and yes people. He wants to know if anyone leaves even for an hour to attend to personal appointments, like that’s going to affect profitability! The COO manipulates the workforce and tries to own people to rally them against each other, for his entertainment. Change those two and maybe the company can survive. Till then, they are s#!+ out of luck as they compete with the Amazons of the world.

Pros

- Runs like a start up: you get lots of experience solving your own problems or figuring out best methods & processes for your role(s). - Good experience if you want to know what it is like working for a company with a Chinese business culture from the 90s. - Benefits are pretty competitive and 401k matching amount pretty high for any company. - Really great people who suffer together and become friends.

Cons

- It's more important to look busy than be productive. - Arbitrary policies such as Open Seating for a non-hybrid workforce - Manager positions get filled by people with no expertise in that field - "I changed my mind," a common phrase spoken after you've spent a day working on a project that doesn't matter anymore. This is every day. - "Why did you do that?" is another common phrase said after a manager forgets they assigned you that task. - Prefers to build buggy proprietary tools instead of getting industry standard software that is a transferrable job skill. - No transparency on business decisions which leads to internal distrust - No regular communication from CEO to all employees: Where is the Leadership? - Top Management doesn't listen, they want be heard - CEO turns work frustration into personal attacks
