Pros

-Large and diverse client base -Employees aren't micromanaged

Cons

Where do I even begin? First of all, take a look at the reviews for PFSWeb, which is the parent company. That will give you a better idea of how things really are. Working here is just a popularity contest. The execs and upper management play favorites and if you're not part of their 'in' crowd, you're out of luck. Opportunities, praise, and blatant favoritism are given to the same small group of people over and over, while other hard working employees are constantly overlooked simply because they aren't part of the cult. Execs are constantly asking employees to write positive reviews on here, so take everything you are reading with a grain of salt. Most of it is fake, just like the people who work here. If you don't have some type of connection to the 'in' crowd, or didn't graduate from ACU, don't even bother applying because they won't take a second look at your application. Also, massive turnover is a huge issue. People are leaving left and right, and many people that are still here are actively searching for new opportunities.

Pros

- I love the work as I get to work across many different clients & tools which means the work is never stale and I continue to grow. This also helps me retain talent on my team. - The culture is excellent, which wasn't always the case. Over the last 2 years, there has been executive leadership changes and with this new group came a FANTASTIC new culture. The transparency and communication has greatly improved and there is a real sense of team unity now. - There is always opportunity to grow your career. I have seen many employees get promoted multiple times and carve out new roles for themselves. If you are a hard worker, you will be rewarded. - Unlimited time off, within reason of course. - Flexibility for remote work even prior to covid.

Cons

- 401k match is on the low side.
