Pros

-Health benefits are great. -PTO is really good (but if you are understaffed, it will be challenging to take time off without being contacted) -Some really friendly people work here -Remote and hybrid work options -Some teams and departments are better than others.

Cons

-WWT used the phrase"the worldwide way" which in marketing started to mean "no new ideas, and we do things the way we always have done, with the people we always have worked with". This mindset makes it challenging to bring a fresh POV and diversity into this department. You have to understand how people work and the politics (aka play the game). -Nepotism is common. -Marketing is incredibly understaffed, and the work is not balanced. Many people are doing the roles of three, whereas some people are bored without challenge. This is an issue because of mid-management and executive leadership. -Served as a manager without a title or pay change for almost a year. I reported this to my manager, my new manager when my old one left, and HR multiple times. I finally quit because of this issue. I wasn't given a real annual raise because my said promotion raise was on its way (for six months...). Overall I felt very taken advantage of and without any idea how to solve the problem on my own. HR may comment on this review that I should have contacted my manager, and I will be clear that I did this every weekly meeting. -Overall, being new and good at your job here is incredibly challenging. Growing is an uphill battle and will happen only if you are friends with your bosses/their bosses.

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
