Business Outlook

Pros

Shutterfly operates in the small teams settings, giving you a feel of community and working together seems less stretched. Everyone is working towards the same goals set by the CEO. Everyone is communicated the same message that supports the business and management treats everyone equal. All rumors a quelled with the truth within corporate and social circles. All Shutterfly tangible products are made in the USA.

Cons

Separate office locations means more time commuting between work locations. Shutterfly does not match 401K contributions. Health Insurance benefits plans could be improved.

Pros

Friendly environment, most people know each other pretty well that work in the call center. Opportunities for advancement are there if you do really well.

Cons

Management (local management) Isn't the best. Some supervisors managers are great, others will try to let you go for pretty much any reason they can find. Since moving to the new location, things became a bit more uptight and less fun.
