Pros

I have been at W2O for over 6 years and from a personal standpoint, there is something to be said for working at a company that has your back. From the very beginning there has always been a sense that we are all in this together and that definitely holds true for those that work in human resources (HR). Just this past week I spoke with HR about my maternity leave and I'm not sure if you have ever grappled with that type of leave, but it's typically a rather painful conversation. Mine was the opposite. I left feeling as if I actually knew what I was talking about and the person took the time to actually explain it to me. Secondly, my family recently changed to W2O's insurance and some of the ultrasounds and tests that had been costing us $200 a service are now coming in at $25 each. That's a huge difference for us. Anyway, no company is perfect in the way it is run but those in HR at W2O should know that their work while sometimes thankless, does not go unnoticed.

Cons

Is the maternity leave policy the greatest one out there? No, I miss the days of the old policy quite frankly but at least the person really took the time to explain it to me and I left feeling armed with the right information.

We have passed your feedback about the maternity leave policy to leadership and are currently processing a new policy. We encourage you to continue to embrace the "open door" environment to keep the discussion moving forward.

Pros

- none. this company is soul suckingly inefficient and they prefer it that way

Cons

- the most dishonest and toxic work environment that I have ever been a part of - the most unqualified management that I have come across (I have worked across numerous agencies - the work is sketchy at best and clients are grossly over billed. Pressuring employees to over bill clients and trying to force inaccurate or incomplete work through the purposely inefficient review processes is common practice at RC - if you do not over bill your clients your managers will begin to micromanage you in a manner that hints at you not doing enough. - Account teams know nothing about media or advertising and make the most uninformed promises to clients and that media activation is constantly on the hook and being blamed for - they hire very little or no men in general. this place is like a toxic middle school atmosphere, it is truly exhausting to be a part of. - managers will routinely insult you in a way you've never been insulted before at work and nothing will be done about it - information is usually gate kept and teams will prevent you from doing your job while management is asking that you contribute more.
