eBay

eBay is an enjoyable place to work at as  what it lacks in work life balance it makes up for in benefits and events and culture.
Working with a great team and being involved in a wide verity of events.

Managment is somewhat lacking and needs an update, most of what is noticed is that team leaders and coaches etc that are hired inhouse are hired on base on who you know and not what you know.  I had the pleasure to work with some great managers who can relax with the agents and not micro mange but also be stict when it requires it , I have also not had the pleasure when working with some managers who bully and push their way to what they want.

Workplace culture is awesome! I have never had so much enjoyment out of events and the vibe/culture in a job besides in eBay.

Hardest part of the job is the insistent work hours and the poor work life balance.

Most enjoyable part of this job is the people i have met and have become friends with

eBay valued each employee. 

They had several perks free coffee, free vending machines, begal tuesdays, cookie wednesdays every holiday they would feed the staff at a staff dinner.  

They had lots of monetary rewards in place for the top 15% CSRs that I had obtained almost religiously.  They had rewards in place for best email responses, best help.   They had rewards in place for teams to achieve on a quarterly basis.   Bonuses at Christmas, stock options.   This was the best company I have ever worked for hands down.  

Management was great from Meg Whitman to my floor lead.   Meeting our company CEO was great.

Measurable results:  Balanced Average Metrics evaluated personal achievements, encouraged personal growth I loved BAMs and reviews with management.

eBay talks a good game about their commitment to career development, but it's unsubstantiated. They hire most directors from outside the organization, and it takes years working around the clock to get bumped even a single level. In my department, the workday never ends -- emails pour in during evenings and weekends. In addition, it's difficult to get projects done due to poor decision-making practices and lack of clear roles/ownership. The company is very top heavy -- too many chiefs vying for power. And there are a lot of very poor people managers, who do not seem particularly troubled by their lack of ability in the area. Coming in below director level means you won't get a seat at the table. On the positive side, many of the people are very nice, and the pay is more than competitive.

Peak season runs from Halloween to New Years; during this time work days run long and weekend shifts are expected (work/life balance is for February through September).

The wages are just north of minimum wage but the benefits are (Health, RRSP matching, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Employee Assistance). While it is worth it to participate; it can be difficult to contribute to the RRSP/ESSP when the wages are so low.

As with many warehouse/distribution jobs the workforce combines employees and agency staff. Persistent agency staff are regularly offered employment. And despite the turnover in agency staff; the efforts made to keep the culture positive is mostly successful.

The management is young, still learning and progressing in many areas.

Wearing the brand name is attracting so many respect from customers and partners. We can feel the power of saying "I am your eBay representative".

As a big company on the stock market, the pressure from shareholders starts to feel itself and so many levels of management makes it hard for us on the field to provide suggestions and common sense improvements we notice daily on the ground.

It is of course a very big ship to navigate when facing tight corners to turn, but also a great culture run by very smart and strong leaders

Get ready to be a top performer, and hold on for as long as it makes sense for you with the continuous "surprise" possible to arrive in the definition of your job.

Since eBay is an online shopping company, there are many customers who orders wide variety of products so it is very busy place. My typical day starts with prepping, picking and packing the clothes . As there was a diverse culture at workplace, I learned how to deal with different people. I also learned how to use RF scanner. The most enjoyable part of the job was to look forward to work in multiple corporate product departments. The hardest part was since I was working in evening shift, because of busy schedule sometimes I had to work till 2 to 3 am.

I enjoined working at Ebay Enterprise, Inc, They have great staff and fun to work with their teams.
every month Ebay choose the hard worker employees and give them gift with appreciation certification for their good attendance and hard work.
also Fun to work with , they also  appreciate their employees by announcing their names in the meeting and show their hard works

I've grown a lot as an individual through starting my business on eBay. Key skills were gained through this experience, such as being initiative, getting things done, customer service skills and ability to think of solutions on the spot. The hardest part is making sure you do everything you can to make the customers happy, because that is where you can thrive as an eBay business. EBay is all about keeping the customers happy so you as a business have to make sure that you do your part in doing so. Best part about owning the business is that I can work from anywhere, and it has become my hobby.

A day it work was very active. Never a day you had nothing to do. I learned many applicable skills that could help me for the future and in many other advanced jobs. My co-workers were very supportive and fun to be with. It made working a lot easier due to the fact that there was always help around you. The only difficult part of the job was receiving the wrong orders and doing your best to correct them. I  believe the most enjoyable part of the job was working and getting the job done in time.

I go to the store and check the orders and then mail them out and then check on the inventory to see if there are any shortage. 
After that I go check online to find out our competitors' price and adjust them according to the customers demand. Then i go to the email and check on the customers reviews and complaints.

The hardest thing about this job is that you have to spend a lot of time on your computer and sitting is killing my back.

I get to have flexible time and do whatever i want in the free time where there is no order coming.
