Pros

WWT has a lot of offerings that our competitors do not which helps put WWT in a position to tell a better story and to win accounts. Benefits are great which cannot be overlooked along with a strategy to grow the portfolio of solutions. Leadership has done a nice job of communicating with the teams which is appreciated.

Cons

WWT has more overhead than what's needed and the constant cutting of sales compensation to pay for this overhead and overlay positions has allowed for the 7% growth of Net Income that Jim shared this week. The same thing that allows WWT to win accounts also gets WWT in precarious positions as WWT's Professional Services organization is immature and lacks the leadership necessary to be great. If you're looking to work here, be prepared to take on growth numbers that do not align with the market growth numbers and this is due to the overlay and management burden you will need to pay for. Your hard work is appreciated, but please be aware of how the factory runs before signing up.

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
