Pros

The compensation and the atmosphere are excellent with this company! Some of the lower level management are very good. The overall nature of this business is unique and one of a kind!

Cons

TERRIBLE upper management. A CEO that runs his business based on some poor experience he must have had buying on ebay. No vision is present in this company. They look to the future and prey. Business does not work that way! To much outsourcing sending good American jobs overseas while customer service suffers. This company has a very long history of ignoring the needs of their customers. The CEO is intentionally making changes to the core business to reduce the customer base. To put more focus on it paypal payment service.

Pros

Great people to work with. People support outside-of-work endeavors. Interesting time for the company, given the slowdown of marketplaces. Lots of opportunity to learn cross-functionally. People are very open to meeting and discussing their roles.

Cons

Highly political, advancement can be difficult. Promotion process is unclear and time between promotions is also cloudy. Senior management can be hard to trust. Their communications seem very artificial and overly produced.
