Pros
There are so many pros for this company, I don't know where to start. Snapfish has gone through many transitions, but we are only just beginning to scratch the surface of what is possible.
I believe in what we do, I believe in so many of the people I work with, and I believe that we have the right person at the helm.
1. What we are about
We are helping people preserve their memories. We are holding moments of time on our servers. We are helping people remember their first kiss, their firstborn, their wedding, their family members that are with us, their family members that have passed on, and so on and so on and so on. What could be better than being memory keepers and giving others the ability of sharing those memories with other people.
2.. The people
When I first started, there were amazing people. And there continues to be amazing people here. I look forward to being in the office...even on Mondays.
3.Career Growth
There is an opportunity for career growth. Most open positions are filled by first looking at internal candidates. People are given opportunities to change direction and change teams. You are given every opportunity to find what it is you love doing...if you are willing to seek out that opportunity.
4. 0pen Communication
I feel as if I can be honest about what I think with no thought to who I am speaking to. It could be a co-worker, a manager, or Helen herself. Honesty is encouraged and open discussions to address concerns are welcome.
5. Hp
We are HP. Sky is the limit.
6. Food and Beverage
This may be a small thing, but the selection of food and drink everyday is a perk! Bagels on Mondays, Fruit on Wednesdays. Random lunches throughout the week. And if there is something you want but they don't have stocked...simply ask. The Admin staff will do what they can, within reason.
7. Location
The location is amazing. Only a few blocks from the bart, the water, the ballpark. You can't ask for a more beautiful location to take a walk during lunch.
Cons
1. Unhappy People
As in any company, I am sure, there are people who are unhappy. We have some unhappy people at Snapfish. I don't think this as a company flaw, necessarily. It is more of a shame. If you don't love where you are at...leave. Life is too short...for all of us.
2. Tools
Sometimes I am astonished at what I must do to even get a simple report run for me.
3. Re-orgs.
Being a part of HP and the massive changes that the organization has undergone over the last few years have impacted Snapfish quite a bit.
