Pros

Remote position with some flexibility Clients with very recognizable names in their industry Benefits were good in the beginning but not anymore

Cons

Leadership that is dishonest with employees and clients, everything here is a "secret" and managers play dumb when asked Greedy rather than supportive - unfair and unrealistic system for earning bonus and commission Does not pay employees for the work they do - expects significant time spent working nights and weekends with no compensation Makes large decisions that negatively impact employees in big ways and announce them the day before they take effect with no explanation nor time to adjust A corporate leadership team that is extremely out of touch with field employees No clear path for promotion and managers do not listen to career path desires of employees

Pros

I've experienced great leadership under a number of different accounts over the past 4 years at Wilson. There is room for growth, professional development, and genuine teamwork mindset toward providing the best service possible to our clients.

Cons

No real cons from my experience working here over the past 4 years.

Pros

Unlimited PTO is genuinely respected and easy to use. Full work-from-home flexibility

Cons

No salary increase whatsoever in 4 years despite consistent performance and loyalty. Bonuses have been significantly cut or eliminated. Company conducted layoffs just a few months ago and is now actively hiring again — creates instability and poor planning. Real compensation is decreasing every year due to rising health insurance premiums, taxes, and cost of living. After 4 years, it’s becoming very difficult to make ends meet. CEO was just replaced and it’s unclear where the company is heading, adding more uncertainty on top of the financial issues. Lack of recognition or financial reward for long-term employees makes staying here unsustainable.
