Pros

Job stability with lots of work to be done. Free lunch in a nostalgic cafeteria setting that hasn’t changed since the 1970s. Many opportunities to support company sponsored charities and fund raising throughout the year. Free W&S logo pens. A small company library where you can check out business books for free. Company discounts for a variety of local activities W&S supports throughout the year.

Cons

Limited advancement opportunities. Heavy management hierarchy where it is all about who you know and not what you know. Senior management maintains a purposeful separation from employees. Very antiquated work environment with highly restricted opportunities to work remotely. Professional business attire with rarely a business casual day. Monthly downtown parking costs and extra fuel costs for daily commuting. Low annual merit increases on limited salary bands. All events including celebrations, funerals, promotions, retirements, holiday gatherings, etc. come out of worker’s pockets. Company doesn’t spend a penny on any of it. New employees get more respect, support, and opportunities for advancement than tenured employees.

Pros

Located downtown, so very walkable. Optional pet insurance benefit is nice. They don't do layoffs, so very stable company to work for. An OK place to work at as a first job out of college. Provided daily lunch is sometimes really good.

Cons

The building has a roach infestation and they are spotted several times a month. Management tends to play favorites. One manager has been reported to HR multiple times by multiple people across many years for being too aggressive to the point several employees have had mental breakdowns, yet still retains their position. Dress code is business professional despite most never interacting with customers. No work from home at all. Company claims to be secular but very clearly has a Christian lean around Christmas time. Yearly raises do not keep up with inflation. Employees are told they are not to discuss their wages with each other, likely due to pay discrepancies between employees in the same roles.
