Current Employee – been working at Plum District as a contractor for more than a year
Pros – Flexibility, No sales quotas or pressure to produce
Cons – You don't get paid for your hard work leading up to the sale. Then, your deal you sold runs and not too many people buy, you are left with not much of a reward for your hard work
Advice to Senior Management – Offer DCs full time positions, pay them what they are worth

Former Employee – worked at Plum District full-time for more than a year
Pros – At Plum District you were never bored. There was always more to do than you had time to do it in. Regardless of how long you'd been there you had a chance to contribute.
Cons – Ridiculously long hours - seeing colleagues online working at midnight was routine, as was getting work texts at 11:30pm. Mid-to-low pay, especially for the hours. Management was terrible at motivation and worse at transparency. Employee burnout was a constant.

Current Employee – been working at Plum District full-time for more than a year
Pros – Free lunches and good PTO
Cons – Brutal culture, senior management is clueless, high voluntary turnover and general lack of understanding of how to build a profitable business. Has had good talent but can't keep them.
