Pros

As a former WD Cert Implementer - You were expected to do and be involved with all WD efforts- routine prod support & new product. They want to expand the business in alignment with their ERP

Cons

As a former WD Cert Implementer - You were expected to do more work with all WD efforts- routine prod support & new product. They want to expand the business with a lot of managers who don’t know their systems. The staff seek roles under false pretense that they want to learn but don’t try to learn. Then as Christians, they lie about work status & completing tasks that they don’t complete. It’s scary.
