Pros

Good PTO, Free snacks, Young co-workers, Tickets to Sox/Bruins/Celts games, Good location in Back Bay

Cons

Ridiculously low pay... hard to pay any sort of rent/bills/loans on the salaries they are offering to young workers. High turnover rate because of this. Work is also extremely boring and redundant. Easy to move roles and gain more responsibility, however you won't be offered a raise.

Pros

Wayfair has an amazing culture, great work-life balance as well as a lot of growth opportunities. They give their employees a ton of responsibilities from the very start and there is a lot of room for the employee to learn and grow. The on-the-job training and experience is extremely valuable, which makes this company an amazing place to build and solidify your skills. They are more open to hire people with little to no relevant work experience, which makes Wayfair a great place to get your foot in the door into the technology/e-commerce industry. In addition, Wayfair is a fun environment to work in and has a very tight-knit community. It is easy to get along with everyone. The employee base is quite young (22-26), which is both a pro and a con.

Cons

Wayfair's pay scale is on the low end, especially compared to similar companies in Boston (technology and other e-commerce companies), let alone the tech giants of Silicon Valley. While the perks are nice, in my opinion they only do so much to mask the lower salaries. I would say most people leave Wayfair not because of the culture or the people, but because they are offered, sometime significantly, higher salaries elsewhere - especially given their new-found skill sets.
