Pros

Got a lot of training, and was given some mental health support from HR

Cons

They do not pay production fairly at all, they keep cutting our hours, and they don't take our problems seriously. I had a panic attack because I couldn't afford my bills this month because they kept cutting hours.

Pros

There were a lot of cool people on the team, until most of them were laid off.

Cons

It's no surprise to learn that both of the companies the current CEO (George) ran prior to spoonflower went bankrupt under his leadership. He is short-sighted, fosters a cliquish environment, and treats employees as disposable. During my short tenure, I watched multiple employees get laid off. We're talking about people who had been with the company for a decade, and had been instrumental in shaping the success of the brand, only to get unceremoniously dropped after the company failed to hit unrealistic growth expectations two months in a row. I watched as a new employee was hired, handed a massive project, pulled 50+ hour weeks without a single day off to make the deadline, then immediately laid off within days of the completing the project. The CEO took a 3-week vacation to Germany the following week.

Pros

Mostly remote work. Shutterfly gives money away to employees for them to buy photos or cards. The quality is still not great, but you can get Christmas cards with the Shutterfly logo on the back for free.

Cons

Continuous cycle of people, strategies, and structure. It's not "fast-paced" it's toxic leadership. Spoonflower has really been stripped of it's beliefs and brand in exchange for "shareholder profit." It's a classic private equity takeover. Product and brand perception has really gone down hill.
