Pros

HAD opportunity for career growth and development. I enjoyed the work I did and never thought i'd leave, loved my job, had great teammates, and we put in hard work. But that doesn't seem to have been taken into account when it came to layoffs. I did have some great managers who really helped me in my professional development and cared about me as a human, not just a number. But they usually went against the grain and that was why they were better. Diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts were great, once you're out of frontline and could actually take part. Work-life balance was also great for those in corporate roles

Cons

Everything is broken. Policies, systems, leadership. They are just like every other call center now. Everything that used to make them stand out and be a great place to work is gone. There was a specific employee engagement team that would do fun things for employees, but most of them were let go in the recent layoffs. You know that meme about companies thinking they could fix everything with free pizza? There's not even that now. There's been a corporate hiring freeze, so no upwards mobility.

Pros

Most of the managers at Wayfair are truly honest and up front with you. The pay is marginal to what it should be however, most employees go above and beyond too. They try to make the work fun by sending free stuff i.e. tshirts, to polar bears, blankets, socks etc.

Cons

I honestly thought I was going to be able to make a career with Wayfair. I was an honest employee, and after 7 years with the company, my mom passed away and I was having panic/anxiety attacks because I lived with her and was her care taker. I was on ADA and had missed 2 days of work in January which put my attendance point over the allowed amount of 10. Even though the Doctor backdated the paperwork because I had gone in so many times with heart pain and chest pain, my new manager still "chose to go separate ways".

Pros

Legitimately there are none and mass amounts of people are leaving this place constantly it’s a revolving door.

Cons

The pay is way below average for the market, you could make more money working anywhere else. The toxic culture is one of the worst things. They promote people who should not be promoted, and don’t promote women and people of color who DO deserve it. On top of that , their moral compass is pointed toward capitalism and not toward doing the right things and doing right by their employees. They have never had their act together to actually ship things, let alone have the ability to KEEP good talent. Their leadership for product, engineering, and design are all laughable for those who are left and “now” in control. They honestly would have gone under had it not been for the pandemic helping them profit for the first time in history. Avoid working here at all costs. Do not fall for anything they sell you, it’s all lies.
