Pros

There were some wonderful but overworked people in the building. Pay was fair.

Cons

Poor and short-sighted business strategy and development. Nearly every employee there was overworked and stressed to the max and often complained or trash-talked other employees. Employer unwilling to reflect on realistic expectations for some roles. Many behind-the-back conversations. Frequently heard tenured employees saying "we were told two years ago the business or X issue would be solved or more stable by now." Lackluster benefits outside of pay (3 vacation days after 6 months until one year of tenure). Didn't even request an exit interview which goes to show that they feel they can do no wrong. I have never separated from a company on these terms or in a negative fashion, and I only decided to upload this review after seeing the posting for my former position being changed after a week. It goes to show senior management has no idea what they are doing or what they need from this role – which I saw first-hand after being promoted after a month to a role I had literally zero experience with. I told them as such and was eventually put on a "probation" due to poor work performance despite putting in somewhere between 45-55 hours each week for the role I was HIRED to do. They didn't care, and despite an overall positive six-month review this was apparently warranted just a couple months later along with my eventual release from the company. To substantiate this probation they went to "colleagues" who had literally no idea what my daily workload and tasks were, and asked for their remarks on my job performance. What's even more laughable is some of the feedback contradicted each other - that I didn't seem to get tasks completed in a timely fashion, but also that I needed to learn more about the business and spend time on the production floor...? Simply unbelievable. Keep in mind I am a career veteran of a decade, and have walked away from every other position with at least one, often multiple references, and positive feedback. But this company is the clear outlier. Stay far away from this company unless you are really desperate and enjoy being over-worked and over-pressured by people who don't have time to read emails you sent out hours earlier explaining what they're asking about.

Thank you for your feedback! If you are looking for a company with stagnate growth, zero opportunity to move up, and a slow and steady pace I agree “Stay away from WHK”. If you are looking for a company with continued double-digit growth, opportunity to move up as the company grows, and a high-energy environment then I encourage you to apply. WHK is not a huge corporate company where you are treated like a number and people barely notice when you are not contributing. WHK is unique because we are growing at a tremendous pace which is hard to find in a business. That also means you need to present and able to work closely with a team. Our strategy will remain the same…We will be to continue to hire great people to join our growing team.

Pros

little to no real oversite. many of the people in charge have any clue what gets down or by who. easy to get lost in the cracks and milk for an easy pay check.

Cons

to many people milking the company for a pay check or until they retire, i over heard one of the owners say out loud he wished he had a bulldozer so he could demolish the plant.
