Pros

I am an artist and I get to do an art-related job. The schedule is flexible when things pop up. I get health insurance and 401k and a lot of free food, and there is free gym access in the office building. The people I work with are all generally very cool, friendly, and/or fun to work with.

Cons

The pay rate is below the industry standard for production artists. I am not able to afford a place of my own. I live with my parents and I work another job to supplement my income. I am basically surviving and able to pay all my bills, but I would not be able to live a full life on my own with the pay rate as it is now. The work culture portrays itself as progressive and inclusive place but it is the typical corporate toxic environment.

Pros

Some perks such as pet adoption reimbursement, sort of flexible schedule, learning opportunities.

Cons

We have transitioned into the Chewy family recently and it started out promising but has quickly become quite the opposite. Management put in place to oversee the business (1 or 2 in particular) have been nothing but degrading and nasty to people - for things that were out of our hands due to direction of previous management. They did a reorg recently which had a lot of questionable moves and claimed they want to go deeper in expertise but that is not the case here. There are many people in roles that they shouldn’t be. The reorg also left many people in lower roles than what their actually doing, probably to avoid paying appropriately. We are also being held to different standards than other parts of the business in terms of the quality of output - We’re producing better but it’s still not good enough. They claim to be getting us more resources but we have not seen that yet. They hired one marketing leader but what we need is a true GM and proper support staff to execute things.not only “leaders”.
