Pros

- Still has one heck of a business model and some strong brands within its portfolio - Generally a caring company.....if anything has pampered its employees over the years - The north campus in SJ is quite cutting edge. Great gym, sports facilities, new cafeteria

Cons

- Senior management is hell bent on killing this company. - Too much of a friends and family environment going on. Basically at eBay its a lot about who you know rather than what you know that gets you ahead. - Middle management is weak

Pros

The benefits package is good... medical, dental, and vision! Yes most employers will give you basic medical but most don't give you quite as good as what eBay gives. You can get money towards getting laser eye surgery even. The starting pay you can get is pretty good and a lot of people can manage to get in lately after high school especially if they're willing to do phone work.

Cons

Low chances of promotions, shift bids so you can't ever be sure for more then 4-6 months just what your schedule will be, and management saying one thing one week then another the next can be the worst. Depending on your direct supervisors you can have good experience with your supes and for promotions to a bit of a higher level; but, there's a awful lot of bad supervisors lately and bad leads. A lot of promotions have more been based on who you suck up to and how well you do with that which certainly isn't a smart way to go. Depending on the shift you're on and what leadership you have your chances of promotion dwindle even lower... not really a good thing. You do expect change in a place like eBay but at times the supervisors aren't even in the loop or some might be while others aren't which can create chaos.

Pros

Having the ability to telecommute. The pay, in comparison to other companies for the same position, is above average. The benefits were terrific, especially the stock options (even though they aren't worth anything now).

Cons

What started out to be a great position (I was there for over 10 years), turned out to be one of the worst jobs I have ever had. The management is a joke; very incompetent. Outsourcing is at the highest level I have ever seen, which resulted in poor service to the members. Although the hourly pay was decent, the severance package was an absolute joke (it equated to ONE WEEK per year of service).
