Wayfair reviews

- There is an extremely high turnover rate. Most people leave within 3 months, which causes extreme confusion and lack of quality work, as well as continuity issues. - Teams can be isolationist, and non-collaborative, without consequence. - They claim to be incredibly flexible with lateral moves, yet are not. I tried to move at least 6 times within the company. - Pay is terrible, and is not reflective of the extreme work demands. If you're looking for competitive pay, and a manageable work-load, this is not the place for it. Some managerial jobs make 40k. - There is a distinct lack of mentorship provided, and when you seek it out, it's treated almost as if it's taboo. - Lack of traditional organizational structure makes it harder to grow. - Job titles and descriptions are incredibly misleading. - HR department isn't an ally for employees or new hires; they're just looking for the best bang for their buck. - They don't give you the necessary tools to get the job done. This can mean software and hardware.

For a company being based in the city of Boston, the salary structure does not compensate for the cost of living. It is almost impossible to live comfortably. Being out of college for years, I made the transition to Wayfair for the start-up feel and the work environment. I made more working full time without a college degree than I did at Wayfair. The commission structure that they offer is in no way a motivation to sell more. The structure is so complex that it almost seems they do this to confuse employees. For the amount they pay, it could be simpler. I know that they use the free snacks and company events as a marketing tool when interviewing, but they should be cutting those and paying people more. Turnover might just shrink if this happened.
