Pros

If the hot weather and close by beaches are enough for you to deal with the toxic culture then Chewy is the place for you. If you are great at playing politics, fit into the clique then Chewy is the place for you.

Cons

This is a public service announcement for people in Analytics / Data Science field. The best model you'd ever build is predicting if you entering a toxic place during the interview place. Don't ignore the red flags: 1) High school kids running the leadership, 2) Most employees are implants from outside Florida, 3) There is no structured projects / goals given by managers (you come in and find your own projects), 4) No models ever go in production = DS are not needed, 5) People in your department (especially supply chain) leaving suddenly, 6) Instead of standard 2 week notice, its "get out in half an hour" notice, 7) No structure of projects with GitLab / ticketing system = DS are not needed, and 8) Entire department turns over in a year apart from the same leadership. The culture is run by fear and the same people get rotated in different roles. Nepotism and favoritism runs supreme. Do not uproot your lifestyle in other state and move to SoFlorida for Chewy.

Pros

I am an artist and I get to do an art-related job. The schedule is flexible when things pop up. I get health insurance and 401k and a lot of free food, and there is free gym access in the office building. The people I work with are all generally very cool, friendly, and/or fun to work with.

Cons

The pay rate is below the industry standard for production artists. I am not able to afford a place of my own. I live with my parents and I work another job to supplement my income. I am basically surviving and able to pay all my bills, but I would not be able to live a full life on my own with the pay rate as it is now. The work culture portrays itself as progressive and inclusive place but it is the typical corporate toxic environment.
