Pros

The people are what make Shutterfly worth considering, but not those at the top.

Cons

Since going private, the company has turned into a place where hard decisions are not made, as evidenced by all the RIFs done since going private. The people at the top just keep bringing more of their own people who don't know much about retail. It's become toxic with people being either "in favor" or out of favor.

Pros

Work primarily from home, coworkers are nice, unlimited DTO

Cons

Overall poor management, continual layoffs, lack of merit increases and promises of bonuses that more than likely won't happen.

Pros

Hours- As a part time employee, my hours are decent. I get Tuesday and Wednesday off and I work around 24 hours a week. Photography- Although being extremely limited in what you can do, there is still a lot of creative freedom in the way that you pose your clients. This isn't always the case though and if we had more training maybe I could've figured it out. JCPenney- The JCPenney managers and employees were always willing to help me when my manager wasn't. The JCPenney break room and location were also nice.

Cons

Lack of training- I had about three weeks of training, one of those weeks being computer based training. Lack of staffing- I rarely worked with my coworker and the manager left the third week of training. I was left to figure everything out on my own and the corporate company would get upset at me for things that I was never told about. Often times I would be swamped with 8-10 sessions and when I would ask for help it would be denied as they only wanted one person on the clock at a time. Underpaid- I was promised $15 an hour starting, I was paid $12.50-$13.50 an hour, it varied between paychecks. The company wants you to sell media bundles, the high priced package and they offer commission on it. Unfortunately, you only get $5 of the $350 bundle. It's really not worth it to bully the customers into buying the bundle for $5.
