Pros
The PTO is pretty nice, and if I don't mention how great the insurance is, I'll be scared Jimmy K would hunt me down.
Cons
They are inconsistent with many of their own messages to the employees, and customers. For example, they have been telling us that our health is the number one priority this entire pandemic, but when the leadership of one of the departments I work with all caught COVID-19, they didn't clean the area, quarantine any of the employees that had been in close proximity to them, or even ask for the technicians that were possibly exposed to them to be tested. An example of them not putting their money where their mouth is would be the amount of times we have been verbally thanked for working during this pandemic. We lost people on our teams to this virus and, arguably, risked our lives every time we pulled into the parking lot to come to work. To only be offered verbal thanks is not only insulting, but it also shows how far the supposed appreciation really goes. There was also the case of what was said to us at the beginning of the pandemic. We were told we would be approved for up to 90 days of unscheduled time off, and people were appreciative of it. With all the panic around COVID-19 and employees living with or themselves being people who were immunocompromised, it was seen as an industry-leading olive branch to us. You would not be penalized for taking up to 90 days, except it wasn't true. I can think of at minimum 7 contractors that I know of who had taken advantage of the generous offer that were rejected from being hired on to the company because they utilized that offer. If you aren't going to hire an employee because they took time off that you told them they wouldn't be penalized for, then you're a liar, in my book. Plain and simple. Once again, this is just the contractors that I personally know, but friends that I have in the other buildings were telling me the same thing was happening to contractors in their buildings. There is a multitude of things that I could say for cons, however, and many, many posts I could call back to that I and my coworkers have made on WWT's own in-house version of glass door. I don't have the patience to mention all the grievances I have, so suffice it to say that anyone giving this company five out of five stars has their head in the sand. All of the problems I've mentioned and referenced are available for anyone that is a part of this organization to look over for themselves, and to pretend as though this company has nothing it can improve on is either an outright lie to benefit this company from leadership or someone who has no interest in seeing this place return to its former glory.
