The Zappos Family Reviews

Cons

None really. I can't think of any.

Cons

Company is too big now.

Cons

Leadership is non existent , HR will not support you ever, the most morally corrupt company i have ever worked for. People have affairs left and right, even the higher ups. They do not practice Holacracy, but didn't tell anyone. They are back to managers. The meetings are a joke, the Managers just tell you what is going to happen, but still make you go through the Holacracy process. They never stay with a plan for advancement, went a 1 1/2 years without one. New management are micro managers. Disrespectful and Very aggressive environment, not nice. You will not be given the proper tools to do your job. Lots of Amazon gridlock. Its who you know and not what you know. Partiers and DUI holders are praised and rewarded. Financially frivolous. No bonuses. Once a year raise...if you qualify. The list of Cons is endless. Don't believe the good reviews, They have not worked there long enough. Think long and hard if you want to work here. I only stayed for the money. I left because i know i deserve a more respectful, honest and professional environment to work in. Don't sell your soul to the devil in sheep's clothing.

Cons

Pay, changed benefits, horrible management, no opportunities for raises, witch hunt style core values that people can get fired for even when they did nothing wrong, extreme wasteful spending on culture events when all we want is better pay opportunities

Cons

Nothing is perfect. So it's important to understand that with any workplace, you have to find your own way and that means being able to feel Respected, Appreciated, Satisfied, and Empowered... you may not get this feeling with everyone or with every department you work with so appreciate all the small things and simple things which adds up to a whole lot... The real con is the fact that the campus is smack dab in downtown which lends to all the of the dynamics that all downtown cities have (homelessness, traffic, pollution, noise, yadda, yadda) coupled with the desert heat that lasts 5-6 months of the year from April - October... Thank goodness for the Air Conditioning.

Cons

constant change, at least 2 shift bids a year

Cons

Our jobs were outsourced to Phillippines and Jamaica. Hours of operation were cut. Management was not helpful and very unprofessional at times.

Cons

Leadership and high level competence is lacking in almost every department. HR is unable or unwilling to help as their hands are tied by their own leaders as well. Company strategy has been absent for years, and there’s little chance this will change due to senior leaders’ unwillingness to realize deficiencies and correct them.

I have survived several instances of highly unprofessional and demeaning behavior directed at myself and my team. I will bear these traumas for many years to come. I will find it difficult to look back on this company as a great place to work, so much so that I can no longer even be a customer.

Think long and hard before you accept a job here, as there’s few opportunities in Vegas and you’ll likely have to move if you become unhappy. If you’re driven and would like to make a difference at work, you will become unhappy. If you’re okay with coasting, you might be fine.

Cons

The whole employee happiness thing is just for publicity. Zappos doesn't truly care about its employees. 5 people reported a lead link to HR yet the HR team said they could not substantiate the claims, even though evidence was provided. HR protects their friends and does not take the proper steps to investigate serious matters. I was forced to seek employment elsewhere because I felt I was in a hostile work environment.

Cons

Major company changes and reorganizations happening at least every 6 months. Severe lack of competent leadership. They say they care about their employees, but outside of the outstanding benefits package, they really don't seem to.
