      Pros

      It's probably a good place to work if you are located at headquarters. If you work in one of their warehouses, expect the bare minimum.

      Cons

      This company is incredibly stingy, they will make new "company rules" out of thin air. They made a policy that anytime you are forced to quarantine it is 14 days unpaid. Annoying policy considering the company prides itself so heavily on being a "Great Place to Work", but in efforts to save money I understand why they do it. Then they double down and make you use any Vacation time[PTO] that you have until it is depleted. I reached out to HR to see if I had an option not to use all the PTO I carried over from last year and was promised that this policy benefits me in the long run... Instead of doing operational shutdowns the WWT is now doing operational "pauses". This means that if someone tests positive that they will make you sit in a breakroom for an hour while a 3rd party cleaning company sprays chemicals all over your workspace. The first time this happened more than half of the people in my department had headaches, some people had to go home because it was so bad it was making them throw up. Worldwide technology is also stingy when it comes to hiring people on. To the extent that people in my building have been contractors through Areotek for upwards of 18 months. That is 18 months that you aren't getting PTO, Paid holidays, Health insurance for your kids, etc.

      We appreciate the feedback. All employees may use company provided paid time off if they must quarantine due to close contact with the virus. This is not new. Employees who fall ill to the virus may receive paid COVID Sick Leave. The top priority is to keep everyone safe. Pausing operations to clean is an important safety measure in accomplishing this. WWT often utilizes third party staffing to help augment our workforce. Subcontractors may be hired but this depends on foreseeable and sustainable business activity along with their individual performance. Until a subcontractor is converted, they have the opportunity for benefits with their employers. WWT does not own any race tracks but does sponsor the naming of Gateway International Raceway. Thank you.

      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
