Pros
1.) You get to work alongside some of the best people you will ever meet, where you all have a shared interest for the love of the outdoors. 2.) You get to work outside/ not a desk job! 3.) Free use of the facility! 4.) Not an exceptionally difficult job. 5.) Get mostly all of the time off you request.
Cons
1.) There is no promotion from within, so whatever position you get hired for, you will remain there until you quit. 2.) You are expected to work long shifts, and breaks are frowned upon. If you are doing anything other than working on a 12-hour shift, you are a problem. 3.) Upper management watches you on the cameras all day long, even if they are not onsite. 4.) Upper management is not very kind, and it feels forced when they attempt to be "nice", which would be fine if the pay was not so abysmal. 5.) Salaried folks are told they must work 45 hours. However, they are expected to work 47+ hours even though the company handbook says 40 hours is all that is required. Those who clock in at 45 hours each week are fired. On the flip side, hourly employees cannot go into overtime or they will get in trouble. Therefore, salaried employees are overworked. (Some even working 70+ hour weeks). 6.) People are constantly scared of being fired because employees get fired for no reason without any prior write-ups or conversations. 7.) Everyone seems to hate their job there. It is the culture to talk negatively about the job daily, which is quite disheartening. 8.) You are lucky if you get two days off in a row or work less than 7 days straight. Your life is work, there is no time for a life outside of it. 9.) There is constant turnover. It is a revolving door. 10.) Upper management speak to staff as though we lack intellect and it feels as though they do not trust us to do the job we were hired to do. They also constantly speak negatively about staff when they are not around and even call people disrespectful names, which I found very inappropriate for the workplace. Many days you will leave work feeling useless and dumb. Nevertheless, WWC has the potential to be a truly amazing job and it is a cool place to work. But presently, WWC has a culture problem. The staff are unhappy and upper management would rather keep rehiring people than work on employee retention. But as upper management says, "it's the nature of the business".
