Pros

Great discounts on products. Nice grounds with walking trails.

Cons

Terrible "boys club" environment. Executive management cares far more about money than employees. Zero work/life balance. Low pay compared to other large employers in the area. Incredibly reactive company. Terrible development for mid management and absolutely no development for non-manager level employees. Directors and VPs openly (and proudly) walk around talking vocally about "junior" employees, making a total power play. The company is lead by managers, not leaders. Very limited opportunity for advancement except for a select few. I was with WWW for over 5 years, it started out great and very fun, but the company lost it's focus around caring for it's employees and shifted to only caring about money. There's a fine line that Blake and Co can't seem to manage. A very competitive environment, not a team centric focus.

Pros

I found the employees at all WWW brands to be wonderful colleagues. People are experts in their field and tend to be good collaborators. I would have loved to stay but needed to leave to progress my career.

Cons

I was there long enough to witness multiple leadership changes at the CEO level but also at the brand president level which did a lot of damage to moral as one would expect, but what did the most damage was each new president knew less about the business which ended up driving it into the ground.

Company restructured with the same management in place.

Pros

Potential change for the better?

Cons

How many reviews will it take for the C-suite or upper management to acknowledge a common issue and do something about the management brought up in these reviews? They went through restructuring and want to improve. They need to change their management. They are reluctant to change and will hold out as long as possible before they HAVE to evolve with the company. The clique mindset is a huge issue as well. The manager's biased behavior is apparent, and setting employees up for failure so they can be "managed out" is not a good look for the company. Communication from management could be better. While the CEO is transparent, management chooses what to communicate to the lower-level employees. The company is supposed to be evolving for the better. Still, when it continues to have managers, as stated above, the company will not grow and continue to have the bad reputation it has.
