Woke CEO talks about “murder” of George Floyd and pronouns. Drops the ball

Business Outlook

Pros

The photo products are good quality and a good value.

Cons

Working at Shutterfly is like being in a cult. The woke CEO and leadership talk incessantly about diversity and LGBTQ issues. At the same time they don’t think twice about laying off hundreds and hundreds of employees.

Pros

Gain good work community as we all struggled through the ever changing initiatives and direction based on the ever changing leadership.

Cons

In the 3 years I worked for this company, there were 2 CEOs 3 CMOs and 2 vice presidency of marketing. Each time C suite changed so did the brands strategies that were barely in place from the previous leadership. It was a headache trying to keep up with individual leadership personal preferences for how the teams should preform. The longest standing employee when I left was there for 3.5 years. No foundation. Yearly layoffs must be expected as it is there way. Do not expect bonuses even if goals are met. When layoffs do happen team leaders are left out of the know causing everyone confusion and mistrust during the January February time of year.
