Great first job—not a lot of long term opportunity

Pros
If this is your first job or if you're trying to break into a new field, Wayfair is fantastic. The company has a great community feel, they encourage social activity between coworkers, and it gives you that all important first line on your resume. It paid me barely anything but at the time, I was just happy to finally have a job in my chosen field—the frequent happy hours and free drinks didn't hurt either.
Cons
During my interview, it was made clear that they don't expect people to stay for more of a year or two. This could be a reason for their very low pay. I saw people move all over the company and work I different roles that way, but if you like your department and want to move up within it, space is limited.
