Pros

Chewy overpays candidates in order to compete with other companies with better cultures.

Cons

It appears that senior managers and directors consider overpayment of employees as a justification to perpetuate a toxic culture. Given our business, it is astonishing how poor our ratings are across indeed, Glassdoor etc. Customers aren't terribly happy about our business model. Employees aren't terribly happy about our culture. I hate throwing a team under the bus, but our technical recruitment team is the worst I have ever worked with. They are difficult to deal with, and they over run the entire hiring process. It is extremely difficult to build an effective team and an effective organization based on the way they approach recruitment.

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.
