Pros

Hiring process was quick. The office manager was pleasant and easy to get along with. Several of the office staff were pleasant and made my time there more bearable.

Cons

The owner of the company is by a huge margin the worst person I have ever worked for. In the time I worked there, lying to customers was policy. He never missed an opportunity to shortchange his employees and customers alike. Customers were given a very flashy product to hide the fact that back end software was so poorly designed that in the time I was there server break ins were a common occurrence. His "in house" development staff lived in Estonia. This became a problem if an annoyed customer insisted on talking to a developer personally and we were expected to say anything to get them off the phone and not expose the lie that the triple digit hourly rates were going to eastern european developers who he paid in single digit hourly rates. Probably the worst I bore witness to was their attempt to hire a replacement accountant, who strangely did not want to continue working there once he became a CPA. The staffing agency replacement didn't last a month, but gave no explanation for why she left. Her replacement from a accounting temp agency did not last a week. After the agency did not seem willing to send anybody else, he interviewed for direct hires, one of whom walked out of the interview after mere minutes of being there.

Pros

You'll get direct experience from A to Z in all aspects of ecommerce business. They hold weekly team meetings where you can get a transparent look at where things stand with all sorts of projects - design/development, marketing, and strategy. If you are highly ambitious and results-oriented, and can handle working with deadlines, then you will do well in this fast-paced environment. You'll meet clients in all industries, too. Food, fashion, B2B, etc. and have access to a wealth of knowledge and direct contact with experts in their fields.

Cons

You have to be ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work, meet deadlines and get results for your clients. If you're looking for an easy corporate gig where you get to play with your friends on Facebook all day, gain lots of karma commenting on Reddit, or spend your day running your stock ticker while watching the latest episode of the Daily Show on Youtube, then this isn't the place for you. It's an open space environment - no cubicles so everyone pretty much knows what you're up to. It can get a little noisy at times because of this but you get used to it.
