Wayfair reviews

DO NOT expect to EVER have a personal life while working here! Scheduling is NEVER EVER consistant and the department mgrs. ALWAYS say the schedule changes are from upper mgt. Scheduled start times and MANDATORY saturdays sometimes make NO SENSE. Why am I coming to work an hour early or on a Saturday when theyre only "forecasting" work???? FORECASTING!!!!! The work isnt PHYSICALLY here and may not be!!!! Upper mgt. is SNEAKY! and you will get called in to the office and disciplined for things you didnt even know about!

As many others have noted, the high growth creates some tension. To excel at Wayfair, you need to be flexible and willing to work in constantly changing and often ambiguous situations. The management really does care, but occasionally makes mistakes--not fully understanding the concerns of the employees or not appropriately supporting someone who is new reporting to a new manager who is reporting to a new manager. They are actively trying to improve on all these fronts while still growing 40-50% a year. They mean well, but it's easy for a companies core cultural values to get fuzzy in that situation. If that sounds scary, then Wayfair probably isn't the right place for you. Also, the organization actually isn't very corporate and there isn't a lot of red tape--I often wish there was more. There are plenty of times when something would be may more efficient if it was standardized, but Wayfair expects you to make it up as you go. It's a constant evolution. We are definitely BIG... having so many people means it's harder to get information you need or coordinate across departments than it may have been before. But folks who have worked at much larger organizations will recognize these as the normal growing pains of a fast-scaling company.
