Pros

Cute puppies, dogs, and sometimes free food.

Cons

You will have to experience toxic work environment sometime around your 3rd month working here. There is a lot of drama prone people, gossip, negativity, and a pretty narcisstic boss. Yelling occurs sometimes without notice and it wasn't your fault at all. Micromanaged on multiple work because, there wasn't another position to fill in for those duties. Pay was very subpar and people will definitely tell you that you won't be getting any pay raise because, it is actually fixed. Pay promotion is actually rare because, not everyone makes it to their standards and they want you to work like robots and you rarely get a raise. Meet some nice people but unfortunately you will meet more fake nice people then actual nice people working here. Gossip is always happening, many people did tell me they don't want to work here no more, and they are going to move on. If you ever decide to work for Shein, just remember not everyone will be welcomed here on your first day because, so many people come in and out here. It feels very temporary to stay in an toxic/stressful environment. There is so many people pleasers here because, they want an name for themselves and it is just better to not get involved with any situation with drama, gossips and fake lies. Lets.. take about nepotism.. it is at an all time high and most likely you will find out about someone's background and realizing they got hired because, they knew someone in the company and only has mid level skills. It is just better to just find a different place to work in then this place then building upon a deadend experience.

Pros

The company was growing pretty fast and had a startup like pace, until the tariffs happened. SHEIN’s pace slowed down a lot and the company pivoted to cost optimization

Cons

1) company’s leadership, especially the US leadership lacks vision and creates a toxic work culture by constantly belittling people in open and yelling at them. 2) the small group of top leaders almost behave like high school bullies colluding with each other 3) you’ll struggle to survive, let alone succeed, if you don’t speak Chinese. 4) Sheins compensation is significantly below industry peers 5) Daily late night calls with the China team mean a non existent work life balance. You are expected to be available at all times, including late night and weekends
