Pros

Not much. It used to be a great place to work but now they are turning into a corporate ran mess…

Cons

Terrible distrust in leadership. Raises are slim. They bring in workers from a temp agency that make the same amount of money as senior techs do that work for the company. The senior techs also get the pleasure of training them. Some of these senior techs have been with the company for 2-4 years. If that tells you anything. If you are a edwardsville warehouse worker you are treated like a 2nd class citizen.

Some of our full time employees are initially hired through a staffing partner. All pay is based upon the role an employee performs and not solely on the amount of time in a position. Compensation ranges for all positions are regularly evaluated and measured against market data. However, individual pay raises within a specific role are determined primarily by the individual employee's increased knowledge, skills, abilities, and responsibilities. If you are interested in finding ways to advance (within your role or by taking on another role) please contact a member of the recruiting team. Thank you.

Pros

401k, Insurance plan. The normal work week is great when you actually work a normal work week.

Cons

HR needs to address the overtime situation and create a policy in the handbook that's fair regardless of what department you work in. Some departments work so much overtime you have to use PTO to have a Saturday off. Other departments you can just request off. The managers and supervisors are just doing whatever they want with no direction or assistance from HR. If your normal scheduled work week is M-F you should not be forced to use PTO time for an unscheduled work day i.e Saturday. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Thanks. It's recognizable the large amount of overtime being worked by employees in Edwardsville. It's not ideal and we are adding more and more staff to offset this. WWT complies fully with all labor laws, including those regarding overtime. This being said, I agree with you we need to improve upon reducing overtime so employees can have more time with their families. Thank you for all you're doing and the rest of our great Logistics organization.

Pros

Great benefits, a lot of really awesome people, location, executive level seems genuine with the core values and sincerity

Cons

Deception..... period. "I don't like 'tier system', so we're going to call it 'architecture', and once we get aligned properly, we'll roll it out." Right. Whole bunch of talk. The sad thing is that not everyone working here deserves a raise. There are plenty that have skills that not many here have, and they are constantly overlooked. I know of quite a few people just waiting for a call or email, and some of our best techs wil be gone. All because promises, promises, promises. Broken ones. These are people that used to be genuinely thrilled to work here! It's pretty sad to be honest. Morale is the lowest I've seen it, since being here. There's no clear path to advance out of RnS. It's like you're trapped. Please don't patronize me with your vague "well, we're growing fast, and we're working in these things.", when it's beyond evident you ARE NOT. Sadly, you're going to lose really good people and workers, while having the mindset of "they're replaceable". Even worse, we all know that's the mindset of too many. We've heard the stories of how the GHQ workers think we're lesser than they are. Screw them!
