Pros

Some nice people work there. The CEO Hilary is great, but the layers of management below are operating in a very old school hierarchical non-transparent way.

Cons

Lack of transparency. Lots of micromanagement. They will sell you on the vision of what the job could be in the interview process and then when you show up it is nothing like the job they described.

Pros

Shutterfly surely has its perks: •great benefits •decent schedule •good employees •weight room •game room •drinks in breakroom •company events These are things every person may be looking for when finding a good job.

Cons

The cons definitely outweigh the pros when talking about this company: •high turnover rate •horrible management •no communication •no room to grow •barely get a raise •no bonus •incompetent leads & supervisors •company will hire outside rather then give current employees better positions & raises •a lot of politics going on •targeting (don’t know when you will lose your job) • minorities & women have a hard time finding there place here •temps barely get hired on •underpay •leads & supervisors can be very disrespectful •constantly lose hours cause lack of work This is not the place if your looking for a real job. Too many underlying factors you have to deal with & I can’t reiterate how horrible the management is. This plant should be investigated but doubt anything will be done even with all the bad reviews they’ve gotten within & outside of the company.
