Wayfair reviews

Wayfair recruiting is the most toxic and dysfunctional environment I've ever witnessed. Not shockingly, recruiting has the HIGHEST turnover rate in the company and they go through people faster than toilet paper, which is also what you'll be treated like while working in this environment. Over my time at Wayfair, I experienced completely unrealistic expectations, downright ridiculous metrics, a culture of backstabbing, and highly disturbing unchecked employment practices that created an extremely hostile environment. Wayfair has a completely arbitrary 6 tiered leveling system that allows for highly discriminatory hiring and promotion practices by "misguided" managers, who generally act more like politicians than leaders. Wayfair is deservedly well known in Boston to have a massive diversity and inclusion problem, and yet they perpetuate the problem with untrained managers with zero accountability. If for some reason you decide to join, here's what it will look like: Expect to work 50-60 hours per week in an extremely high volume sales job masquerading as a recruiting job. You'll be asked to hit unrealistic goals set by people who have never recruited. You won't be allowed to make a single decision about literally anything, and your day to day work will be more like an entry level data entry intern or used car salesman. You'll rarely see anyone in recruiting last over a year, and if you do, be VERY wary of them. Lastly, and I can't stress this enough, only expect to see that good old "Wayfair jungle-gym" only if you play a politics game. Unless this sounds ok to you, AVOID at all costs.

Do you enjoy working your butt off to complete projects in a timely and successful manner for years on end only to have the only senior position on your team filled by a recent grad school graduate with zero understanding of the tools and processes used by your current company? Maybe you love being assessed by managers who have zero hand in your development for bi-annual performance reviews that feel like they are never ending given the amount of micro-management your own manager puts on you? Or perhaps you thrive in an environment where there is a revolving door of employees and staying at the company for 3 years makes you a "veteran" ? Then you'll love it at Wayfair!
