Pros

There are some fantastic, top-notch, second-to-none Americans working hard.....for this scewed-up company. Other than that there are no pros, none, really! I have another job and resigning that's about it.

Cons

My manager is/was totally incompetent. I caught him in multiple lies. The vacation policy is not straightforward - you "borrow" days from them! What a joke! Bonuses are non-existent, if it would ever be given your manager can take away 50% for no reason. No raises were given. They are constantly restructuring, which really means getting rid of people that management doesn't like ie. independent thinkers. I never felt secure because change is constant and on every level it's like musical chairs with a chair being removed way too often. They have like 300 unfilled positions on the careers site but are constantly cutting jobs, especially older workers. I am in upper management, I see my piers hiding their incompetence by promoting "inapproachablility". You won't find many open door policies here in Houston -upper management is fearfully hanging on to their fiefdoms by ANY means necessary. If you can work any where else do it- you will not learn any valuable, transferable skills at WM. The incentives they recruit you with at interview are rarely, if ever realized (ripoff-salesperson car allowance, no bonuses, no raises, have to borrow vacation days, pathetic insurance.) The health insurance is pathetic and expensive, especially for family coverage. They don't cover most medications or will only cover 50% of what YOUR dr prescribes.

Pros

to be honest no pros.

Cons

Working here was stressful, I was starting to deal with anxiety and panic attacks especially when dealing with my Supervisor who was awful since the moment he arrived. I'm one to always be respectful no matter what but at some point you loose respect and you can't allow anyone to disrespect doesn't matter if he's your boss. They fire the hard working people while keeping the ones that do more damage in the work place. Ones that could hurt other employees yet nothing was done while firing the good ones. The Manager that arrived before I was let go was even worst! I wasn't sure what I needed to let her know or not know because since day one when I communicated with her she just brushed me off and never got back to me about anything or she told me to take her off all the emails she was attached to. Then threaten me on an email if I didn't show up to work when I had requested a day off. I mean there's a lot more I can say about both of them. Now about HR... after I was let go I requested termination documents and personnel file in January I waited a month to do a follow up got the run arounds then I was told they were going to get back to me. I waited and did another follow up they ignored my email I did another follow up and got ignored again we are now in April still nothing.
