Pros

Great company, good benefits, One of the few companies that still throws a good Christmas party.

Cons

IT infrastructure is a sweat shop. They will work you 24 x 7 the lay you off when they outsource your job. I was't personally laid off but got out while I still had my sanity. Lots of back stabbing and internal competition to survive.

Pros

There are some fantastic, top-notch, second-to-none Americans working hard.....for this scewed-up company. Other than that there are no pros, none, really! I have another job and resigning that's about it.

Cons

My manager is/was totally incompetent. I caught him in multiple lies. The vacation policy is not straightforward - you "borrow" days from them! What a joke! Bonuses are non-existent, if it would ever be given your manager can take away 50% for no reason. No raises were given. They are constantly restructuring, which really means getting rid of people that management doesn't like ie. independent thinkers. I never felt secure because change is constant and on every level it's like musical chairs with a chair being removed way too often. They have like 300 unfilled positions on the careers site but are constantly cutting jobs, especially older workers. I am in upper management, I see my piers hiding their incompetence by promoting "inapproachablility". You won't find many open door policies here in Houston -upper management is fearfully hanging on to their fiefdoms by ANY means necessary. If you can work any where else do it- you will not learn any valuable, transferable skills at WM. The incentives they recruit you with at interview are rarely, if ever realized (ripoff-salesperson car allowance, no bonuses, no raises, have to borrow vacation days, pathetic insurance.) The health insurance is pathetic and expensive, especially for family coverage. They don't cover most medications or will only cover 50% of what YOUR dr prescribes.

Health Benefits are great! Employees are great

Cons

Managers do not work with employees Turn over is terrible Terrible Training Program You are allowed 2 weeks of vacation you can take one week of vacation but other week has to be broken down and can't take Monday's off ever!! No room for advancement Christmas party is in the office - this shows how valuable employees really are.
