Pros

They entrust you with a lot of responsibility very quickly. If you take the opportunities provided you will learn a tremendous amount. The culture is also terrific. They (the company) actively encourages building a strong sense of camaraderie/friendship among coworkers. Its worked, I have a lot of fun at work, which I attribute to the fact that I view the people I work with more like friends than coworkers.

Cons

Pay. As stated they give you a great deal of responsibility and in turn you learn a lot, but they don't pay you inline with what you could be making out on the market with the skills they just taught you.

Pros

Great working environment. Co-workers are always friendly and willing to help. Constantly growing company

Cons

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.
