Pros

Jet.com isn't as bad as i've heard amazon is to work for, but then again at amazon there is a likely chance the company will still be in business a year from now.

Cons

Will literally work you to death. Sure, they offer unlimited PTO just so long as you are on track with all your work and everything is getting done that needs to . . . but they pile on so much work with unrealistic expectations you'll never get to use it. And don't even think about getting the resources you need to complete the task at hand. The transparent salary levels are a farce. It doesn't make anything more fair it just changes the dynamics so instead of finding out someone else is making X and you're only making Y and being unhappy about it, you can see very clearly that someone else is mapped to level X and you're only mapped to level Y even though you do all the work and they are a moron.

Thanks for the real feedback, this is not how we want any employee to feel. We all spend so much time at work we need to make sure it fulfills each of us. We obviously believe we will be here for many, many years to come and we try to be transparent with the plan so that you see that path as well... clearly we need to do better. In addition, work-life balance is something we take seriously and is needed to achieve our long-term vision. Employee happiness is a top priority, the last thing we want is for people to burnout. If you've already spoken to your manager and feel that you can't take the time off that you need, please reach out to me or your talent rep. As for our levels and transparency around salaries, Jet is doing things differently – I don’t know of another company that publishes salary information the way we do. Usually employees are kept in the dark and there are all sorts of unfair decisions made behind the scenes. Being transparent, especially when it comes to salaries, isn’t easy, but my goal is for everyone to be treated fairly at all levels. If you feel you've been leveled incorrectly, please connect with your manager, talent rep. or even me directly so we can talk openly about it. - Marc Lore, CEO

Pros

The culture was awesome, with one rule (Be Nice) I loved Jet. We kicked some major #$^^ so much so that Walmart bought us and killed us. We had fun, it was like working at an all night rave music and dancing while we worked. hard to describe, you had to be there.

Cons

the pay wasn't the best but the benefits more than made up for it. The insurance was fantastic, the fun we had at work was enough to make up for the lack of pay.
