Pros

The only pro now is the perks they offer. They throw money at different perks to prove they 'care' when they really don't.

Cons

No accountability. Can you get to work on time? Are you able to be reasonably nice to people on the phone? Then you will probably last a while. Supervisors have unlimited PTO and no one in management seems to pay attention to or care who is abusing it. As long as the team stats look good on paper they don't care what you're doing. Team Leads don't have anything to define what they're supposed to do. There's no consistency. Answer questions and take escalated calls. Oh and the only way you are judged on your job is how someone 'perceives' you're doing it. If other team leads are up and walking around no one says anything. Let's not forget the fact that if you're working a night shift (especially if you are flexible enough to do so in leadership) you're pretty much expected to stay with it until you either leave or go to another department. They don't believe in shift bids, and even when they tried, they were accommodating to the ones who work days and the people on nights were still stuck with it. Some managers may care, but their is no more evidence of this in the way the business is being run. Because no one is being held accountable, the good employees do the bare minimum because the bad employees who are skating by are not being held accountable.

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback for us and hopefully you know we have many open forums for this in the office as well. It sounds like you have some concerns that I am confident we can address. I agree with holding everyone accountable in their roles and we want to make sure that is occurring at Jet. Being new to the role, I am currently conducting focus groups with every team within Jet to gather a list of current strengths and opportunities we need to address. That feedback is critical and a key piece of our overall business plan. I encourage you to come speak or email me directly to address your concerns. Howard S., - Director of Member Services

Pros

I have no current pros. I have lost so much respect for the company and am looking for a way out.

Cons

Where do I even start? We went through a period of rapid growth and promoted too many supervisors and team leads. I have heard managers admit people were promoted that are not qualified and aren't currently up to standard. Rather than fire/ask people to step down so we can have good leadership, they just let the current leader stay. Supervisors talk about how bored they are and how their job is a vacation. They also don't understand how the company is spending so much money on people they don't need. There is no room for upward movement because they are still shuffling people around at their current level. it is really frustrating when your leaders don't care, set bad examples by being on their phones/facebook/texting their entire shift instead of working and supporting the agents, and bragging about how much they get paid to do nothing. The agents are the ones doing the work and there are so many people who could do a great job if only given the chance. We need to clean house and get rid of the dead weight in leadership.

It sounds like you may have been involved in some unfortunate and deconstructive conversations. Sorry to hear that! As you mentioned, we enjoyed a period of rapid growth. In fact, we love that we were able to offer positions and promote many of our internal, high potential JetHeads for a time. We are currently focusing on stabilizing that growth and ensuring that we are here to stay! By rightsizing and getting our headcount where it needs to be, it allows us to focus our energies on developing those leaders that were promoted and preparing those JetHeads that could be next if we experience another wave of rapid growth. As to your advice to management - We do hold our leaders to specific expectations and standards. If they don’t meet those standards though, we are committed to helping them become successful we do this through one on one coaching’ and providing them with every tool possible. Like everyone going through learning we provide leaders enough time so they can change behavior and become successful. There are times that this support does improve behavior, and unfortunately there are times that it doesn’t. In either situation we do not publish who is getting additional support, and who isn’t making the necessary changes to be successful. It is difficult to address generalities though, so, if you really want something to change, we would need you to give specifics because we don’t know what you know or what you have seen. I assure you that we have a zero tolerance for retaliation. If any adverse action towards you takes place because you gave feedback, swift action will be taken against that individual. I am committed to fixing the issue(s) that are concerning you most, but I can’t unless you help us. If you want to remain anonymous, I understand that. There are avenues you can take in house to give us more specifics on the situations you have mentioned without giving up your identity. You could type up a letter and leave it under my keyboard, call the open-door hotline, or even put a post it note on my computer with your number that I could return a call too. At the end of the day, we would never want someone to be frustrated without an outlet to express their feedback, so, I ask you to please visit one of these avenues. Maggie K., Director of Talent

Pros

Jet.com isn't as bad as i've heard amazon is to work for, but then again at amazon there is a likely chance the company will still be in business a year from now.

Cons

Will literally work you to death. Sure, they offer unlimited PTO just so long as you are on track with all your work and everything is getting done that needs to . . . but they pile on so much work with unrealistic expectations you'll never get to use it. And don't even think about getting the resources you need to complete the task at hand. The transparent salary levels are a farce. It doesn't make anything more fair it just changes the dynamics so instead of finding out someone else is making X and you're only making Y and being unhappy about it, you can see very clearly that someone else is mapped to level X and you're only mapped to level Y even though you do all the work and they are a moron.

Thanks for the real feedback, this is not how we want any employee to feel. We all spend so much time at work we need to make sure it fulfills each of us. We obviously believe we will be here for many, many years to come and we try to be transparent with the plan so that you see that path as well... clearly we need to do better. In addition, work-life balance is something we take seriously and is needed to achieve our long-term vision. Employee happiness is a top priority, the last thing we want is for people to burnout. If you've already spoken to your manager and feel that you can't take the time off that you need, please reach out to me or your talent rep. As for our levels and transparency around salaries, Jet is doing things differently – I don’t know of another company that publishes salary information the way we do. Usually employees are kept in the dark and there are all sorts of unfair decisions made behind the scenes. Being transparent, especially when it comes to salaries, isn’t easy, but my goal is for everyone to be treated fairly at all levels. If you feel you've been leveled incorrectly, please connect with your manager, talent rep. or even me directly so we can talk openly about it. - Marc Lore, CEO
