Pros

Some of the most brilliant people I've ever worked with. There are smart people solving real problems - you can't ask for anything more satisfying. Oh yeah, we work with some of the biggest and best names in the industry. Live Area operates under the larger PFSweb name but is different both in terms of culture and core business. The older more operations minded PFS has some cultural deficiency a modern digital consultancy would bristle against. Under the new LA leadership you're seeing meaningful investment in organization structure, strategy, people and clients.

Cons

The overarching PFSweb company has some dark age tendencies. The CEO is a fantastic leader but there is an old guard contingency that makes life a little difficult. Cash is good but benefits are not much to speak of. Basically no matching in 401k and a below average health care plan. Overall they maintain the financial mindset of a logistics company and pinch pennies rather than invest in growth.

Pros

- I love the work as I get to work across many different clients & tools which means the work is never stale and I continue to grow. This also helps me retain talent on my team. - The culture is excellent, which wasn't always the case. Over the last 2 years, there has been executive leadership changes and with this new group came a FANTASTIC new culture. The transparency and communication has greatly improved and there is a real sense of team unity now. - There is always opportunity to grow your career. I have seen many employees get promoted multiple times and carve out new roles for themselves. If you are a hard worker, you will be rewarded. - Unlimited time off, within reason of course. - Flexibility for remote work even prior to covid.

Cons

- 401k match is on the low side.
