Pros

Great relationships formed. Some very talented employees. Growing industry.

Cons

Work day is anywhere from 10 - 16 hours each and every day, to include weekends and holidays, thus providing no work - life balance. No processes. Irresponsible / incompetent management. No training. No ability to take one's "unlimited vacation days", not enough resources to manage projects, lots of turnover, clients are promised unrealistic timelines then are lied to when nothing comes in on time. Development - clients are very angry that what was promised by upper management is never delivered on time and when finally delivered, the work is sloppy and full of bugs...costing the clients extra money - you get what you pay for. Client Services - this very small department is the "face of Speed Commerce" to each client thus bearing the brunt of the anger. Management can't seem to be bothered to help solve issues or step in as a "superior" voice when things go wrong. When clients finally escalate, senior management promises representation from all departments in daily (sometimes 2 and 3 calls per day) calls / meetings but no one is ever held accountable for not joining. Lots of lip service. Operations - this team is completely overworked and overwhelmed. Fulfillment Team - lies to clients. I enjoyed my early days at Speed Commerce but management changes and ever decreasing resources turned a great company into one that fails in all they do. I honestly hope that things change - there are still a few remaining good people there but I hear that almost everyone is actively interviewing elsewhere. Too bad....Speed could be a powerhouse in the ecomm industry.

Pros

Teamwork is a strong part of the environment here, which makes the workplace more positive. Everyone is willing to collaborate and support one another, making it easier to get things done efficiently. Good work-life balance, as I am able to leave on time each day. The workload keeps you consistently busy throughout the day.

Cons

Can be stressful dealing with customer issues and complaints Dependent on warehouse operations for answers sometimes

Pros

Amanda in HR is amazing and easy to work with. Kim is a wonderful boss who is very supportive of her employees. They really took care of us during the holidays providing meals we ate together and working with everyone to ensure they got the time off they needed. Work/life balance is wonderful, especially for the moms, because when your day is over, you leave.

Cons

Not much communication with others in the office, but I am not used to working in a quiet environment. I guess the quiet would be a pro.
