I’ll never recommend this place

Pros

The people I work with and the relationships I’ve built are the ONLY good things about this company.

Cons

WWT recently moved us into a mess. They setup a barely functional floor to do our jobs at the NAIC location. The receiving setup is a total disaster and I was told that because the company put millions of dollars into messing it up that their only solution is to just keep us on over time. Our productivity is suffering, we’re going against all of the 8 wastes that WWT preaches against on a daily basis, and every day I go into work they add something else on to make our process harder and more time consuming. To move up in the company you have to know the politics and suck up to your bosses. It’s ridiculous. I’ve seen people that have been here for years not be able to move up because they’re too good in the position that they’re in. These people also make the same rate of pay that I do and I’ve only been here going on 2 years. A corporation is a corporation. The CORE values mean nothing to this growing business anymore. It’s all just an illusion that they base their brainwashing on. It’s sad. WWT recently came out with their “Open Door” survey form. Allot like Glassdoor, but it’s only for people in the company to see. The HR rep that makes the comments on here and in Open Door is extremely good at blowing smoke. I’m pretty disappointed in whoever that person is. We wanted our voices heard, and you were sent to just shut us down yet give us a glimpse of false hope, basically . When I realized that this new program meant no changes for us no matter how many times we came up with ways this place could easily improve, I was done. WWT is growing too rapidly to become anything more than a “What Was” because they don’t know how to handle their internal problems. The benefits are good, but you can get the same benefits working at Walmart, so it’s not worth it in the end. My home life/work life balance is extremely crucial to me and this company claimed that they cared about it before they made a huge unnecessary move and stole my whole summer with my family. They know the good hard working people will stay because they have no choice. This is our livelihoods. We can’t put food on the table without the small amount of pay that they give us.

Poor Daily Support

Pros

Fun events, like the annual GPTW bash. Managers have discretion to take their teams out. People are friendly.

Cons

If you don't generate revenue for the company (sales), don't bother working here. Don't work in operations. They couldn't care less about people who are in support roles.

Pros

Great benefits and compensation. Some great people work here.

Cons

Company is growing so fast that it has started promoting employees to management that are inexperienced and unqualified. They also have focused so much on pushing to stay ahead, that they have lost site of the ability to stay profitable in all areas of the services they provide and focusing on customer satisfaction. Again, lack of experience in management.

Thanks. Yes, we are growing very fast and we do our best to promote from within whenever possible. I think overall this is a good thing. I also think focusing on customer satisfaction is a good thing. Thank you again and good luck with your new company.
