The Grass Is Definitely Greener On The Other Side..
Pros
I'd have to say the only pro about working for WilsonHCG was the friendships that I built with the people I worked with. The organization as a whole is very cliquey and there are a lot of people that will do whatever it takes to make themselves look good to upper management. I was lucky enough to work with some pretty great people and built some awesome friendships with people, some of whom I've never even met in person. Those friendships are the reason I ended up staying as long as I did.
Cons
Where do I even begin? There are so many negative aspects to this company that the list could go on for days. First off, don't be fooled by these positive reviews on here. Marketing has all of the new hires and interns write positive reviews after they start to help hide the truth. I remember when I first started with the company, I was asked to write a review and I had only been with the company for a week. For the most part, management is absolutely terrible. During my time with the company, I had multiple managers that did not have my best interest in mind and only cared about how they looked to the executive team and the rest of the company. I believe this stems from the fact that the company promotes people into management roles just based on your numbers and who you have an "in" with, as opposed to promoting people into management roles that actually know how to manage and people want to work with. Whenever I needed something done, I couldn't trust my manager to have my back. I always had to go above to someone with higher power to even try and accomplish what I was trying to accomplish. Even then it was a struggle to get things done. Compensation is an absolute joke. The company makes enough money on their overpriced hires to their clients, the least they can do is compensate those who are actually filling those roles! They word the compensation structure as a "base + commission" structure, but that's a lie. It's more of a "base + small bonus" structure. On top of that, your "commission" is capped, so you can't even really make what you deserve to be making based on the hours you put in. The bonus you receive is based on a monthly quota, which is usually unobtainable. And on the off chance that you do hit your monthly quota, you better expect it to jump even higher the following month. For instance, I know for a fact that one of my colleagues hit her quota and the next month it was DOUBLED. There's also a really big disconnect between the sales team and the delivery team. The sales team pretty much says and does whatever they possibly can to land a client, and then they push it off on the delivery team to fulfill whatever they've promised. The clients we get are generally horrible and are a complete nightmare to work with.
