Pros

Good pay. Wonderful benefits. Good people in the branches and at corporate. Solid training programs.

Cons

District and regional management can be completely out of touch and even abusive. Branch employees are stressed with all the requirements and goals with little positive. Western region is awful, the absolute worst of the bunch. Midwest is pretty good. East Cost is varies.

Pros

Benefits, pay and the customers appreciate you. Most employees are great to work with. There are a few veteran managers left and most of them follow company policy and are great to work for. If you get a good manager and work hard for that manager then you will enjoy your time at WWG, but they are few and far between...

Cons

Some of the management do not follow company policies and if you do not keep quiet about it, they will make your life a living hell. Don't ever report anything you see that is wrong, because HR will target you instead of the manager that is unethical.
