Pros

The only option for handmade sellers to thrive

Cons

I’m a 5 star seller. No human review process, caught up in an AI moderation sweep. Should be criminal to shut down a business overnight without warning

Pros

Empathetic, smart people in a lot places.

Cons

Senior leadership has changed alot in the years since the pandemic highs and it's not quite stabilized. Overvalued executors and undervalued those with high EQ and people leadership. Promoted executors into senior roles and then they floundered and exited, or worse they chased away better potential fits for those roles who were overlooked.
