Weigh Your Options Carefully - Anonymous employee Wolters Kluwer Employee Review

Trust: There’s a lot of talk behind other’s backs, especially for a company that fosters a culture of transparency and trust. If you’re in the “select” group of people you’ll get promoted. Otherwise expect to be stagnant, managed out, or eliminated through reorganization. Purposeful low performance ratings is becoming the norm to promote headcount reduction, through attrition. This helps justify more outsourcing. Workload: On any given day, workload is barely manageable, at all levels within the organization. Managers are expected to develop their teams and create successors but they’re too busy being front line employees or attending countless unnecessary meetings to focus on developing their teams or themselves. PTO: You get an amazing allotment of days off however if you’re not in an individual contributor role, don’t expect you’ll get to take more than 1/2-3/4 of them and they don’t roll over. Breaks: You’re supposed to get them, but employees are too busy or there’s pressure that something won’t get completed if they take them. Salary: Let’s just say, you get what you pay for. Turnover is high because the pay and compensation are not competitive. It actually costs the company more to continuously train new hires than it would if they’d pay people reasonable and fair wages. Annual 401k contribution percentages are usually significantly higher than individual performance raises.
