Pros

Everything: the people, the benefits, the flexibility, the generosity for other organizations and charities, the leadership initiatives and open door policies...the list goes on.

Cons

It’s hard to get a substantial raise once you have been hired, but I do love the fact that age doesn’t play a factor in positions - WWT trusts younger generations in important roles and doesn’t sidestep quality just because of a certain number of “years of service”.

Pros

Great benefits, decent job security with steady work.

Cons

I work in the lab at LKV, and it's gradually become an absolute mess. It started out as a relaxed place where so long as you were diligent and didn't waste time, you were treated with respect as an employee and a person. Management has become dead-set on destroying that, going out of their way to insure they control their employees as much as possible to flex their egos. They constantly spout the core values, yet never adhere to them. The very rules they enforce on employees are then openly broken by management, or their favorites, with no punishment. They will find any excuse to keep an employee down and lower their raise to a few pennies. Some managers have even lied about their employees, intentionally preventing them from advancing their careers so said employees stay working in the lab under that manager's thumb. Even managers who have been previously written up and booted out of other departments get free reign here, able to throw as many people under the bus as they can for their own careers. There are a maximum of 2-3 decent, competent people in management. Everyone else is a bully going on a powertrip with no end in sight. I don't know if HQ will ever do anything about this situation at this point, but when they do it will be too little, too late. World Wide Technology is a great company as a whole, but this is somehow the worst of it all concentrated in one area.
