Avantages
I would not recommend or suggest to anyone to work at ebay today. Years ago I would have, but certainly not today. A group of people scattered around the United States ( early ebay employees referred to as "Remotes" ) made ebay a very strong respectable marketplace. The Remotes worked VERY HARD and put in many LONG HOURS. The Remote employee was proud and happy back in the early days before Meg Whitman. The Remotes were NEVER properly recognized for the hard work and dedication to this company. Ask someone today who or what is/was a remote ebay employee and what did they do, and believe you me, not one single person can properly address that question. WHY? Because they simply do not know....they were not there! Oh the storys we all could tell, but it has been suggested we all keep quiet.
Inconvénients
ebay used to be the most wonderful place in the world. I was very PROUD to work for ebay. When Meg Whitman "walked" into her position and the new hires began their take over, everything the early employees ( remotes) worked so hard for was quickly dissolved and pushed down the drain. I began to see that ebay was on its way of being a monster, and then of course the evil greedy monster it is today.
