Shutterfly reviews

Where do I begin? Many people on different teams don't know what they are doing because Shutterfly continues to hire people who are unqualified for their jobs. And if you somehow end of being a person that knows what you're doing...you will feel out of place and realize how you're not paid enough working here. -This company is going down, there's a high turnover rate and honestly I don't know how they've been running for so long. They also are switching from public to private Apollo acquired Shutterfly and the deal will be finalized at the end of the year. -Work environment is toxic from the head down from HR itself down to the team you are own, pretty sure it's even bad at the very top. -People are fake they talk about you for no reason because they are miserable with their own lives. No one knows how to work together or to get along, you may need to do something but someone from another team will make your workflow difficult. Even if trying to communicate with them there's a lot of people in certain positions that have a BIG EGO that will just drive you insane. -Lack of diversity, a lot of caucasian people work here—if you're a POC you will definitely be reminded that you are POC -No growth opportunities -LOW pay compared to other companies -Only interested in hiring contractors than full time employees (it's sad to see this is becoming such a NORM for the bay area and everywhere else in general) -People in management don't have EXPERIENCE in management and yet are allowed to manage certain teams? Obviously there's issues here. Management can be very condescending, rude, for no reason at all -*******AGEISM AT IT'S FINEST! If you are too young they will treat you like a baby. You will DEFINITELY encounter it if you choose to work here. People will treat you like you are incompetent -No work life balance, the traffic in the bay area is getting worse. I'm sure wherever you are coming from you will have to sit in traffic you will be so drained from the commute that you'll feel like you're going insane because you are so exhausted Overall there are so many cons to Shutterfly from the career growth to the ageism. It is not healthy for anyone to work here. I will be looking forward to this company shutting down because they do not know what they are doing. Their competitors like Minted do a better job. Besides Shutterfly product isn't great and all of the employees currently working there are DEFINITELY aware of that and don't even love their own products. *WARNING!!!! CONTRACTORS STAY FAR AWAY, THEY WILL ONLY USE YOU FOR A MONTH (ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE QUARTER THAT THEY ARE IN) AND LET YOU GO—ANY CONTRACTOR POSITION WILL NEVER TURN INTO A FULL TIME POSITION. UNLESS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE FOR WORK, DO NOT WORK HERE*
