Pros

Excellent salaried position compensation, industry average for hourly associates. Best health coverage in the industry. Excellent profit sharing and 401K match. Great "Core Values" system that is leaning toward being nothing more than a slogan. Very good work/life balance, but sadly, this is also slipping away with 12 hours days becoming the norm and weekends becoming common place.

Cons

There is a considerable amount of favourtism and nepotism within WWT at the Edwardsville sites. It seriously is all about who you know. I was asked by the site to edit my previous review after having been responded to by the WWT HR staff, only to find it was no longer posted, nor were the reviews I noted to support my statements available. Which is fine and just proves my point. You can look through the interview reviews and see similar examples. There is limited opportunity for advancement as well due to the ongoing philosophy of outsourcing leadership rather than grooming from within. Many outstanding associates have left as they watched leadership get hired externally while they were passed over. Sad, for WWT is slowly moving into a production styled business and moving away from quality to bolster their already enormous bottom line.

Thanks. We did ask glassdoor to remove an employee's name which was mentioned in a previous posting. This was out of respect to our employee which I hope you can understand. WWT is unable to remove any reviews and has no control over doing this. If you would like to discuss this further, please let me know and I would be happy to meet with you. Thanks again.

Pros

My manager was very supportive she would give great feedback and try to help me grow . The people were awesome. My coworkers were great and supportive.

Cons

For all the projects we had regional managers there was one that had it out for me. This person was relentless and I went to my manager. The problem I had with this person was they never stop coming after me and my manager tried to stop this person in their tracks, but they tried a way to come after me. My manager’s manager was kind of not a good manager because he was all about the numbers and he didn’t care about the person. He never once had a one-to-one conversation with me I noticed that he played favorites with people and it’s just not good to do that. I believe that as a senior manager, you have to get to know your team instead of hearing what other people say. There was a senior project manager out there who essentially threw me under the bus. When people would resign, all of the projects that were left behind by the previous person they would dump it on one person. It is a lot of work to dump on a person. Some managers would help you grow and there are others that will do the work behind your back on a project. There was one who would start adjusting my project numbers and get mad at me. Mind you this was my first year and this manager would throw me under the bus. “Great Workplace?” Please
