Pros

Excellent salaried position compensation, industry average for hourly associates. Best health coverage in the industry. Excellent profit sharing and 401K match. Great "Core Values" system that is leaning toward being nothing more than a slogan. Very good work/life balance, but sadly, this is also slipping away with 12 hours days becoming the norm and weekends becoming common place.

Cons

There is a considerable amount of favourtism and nepotism within WWT at the Edwardsville sites. It seriously is all about who you know. I was asked by the site to edit my previous review after having been responded to by the WWT HR staff, only to find it was no longer posted, nor were the reviews I noted to support my statements available. Which is fine and just proves my point. You can look through the interview reviews and see similar examples. There is limited opportunity for advancement as well due to the ongoing philosophy of outsourcing leadership rather than grooming from within. Many outstanding associates have left as they watched leadership get hired externally while they were passed over. Sad, for WWT is slowly moving into a production styled business and moving away from quality to bolster their already enormous bottom line.

Thanks. We did ask glassdoor to remove an employee's name which was mentioned in a previous posting. This was out of respect to our employee which I hope you can understand. WWT is unable to remove any reviews and has no control over doing this. If you would like to discuss this further, please let me know and I would be happy to meet with you. Thanks again.

Pros

Innovative company with great culture and integrity from the top down.

Nothing major. Growing fast and tough to maintain culture. Doing better than most large companies I can think of.

Amazing Culture

Pros

WWT has the best culture of any organization I have ever had an opportunity to work for or with. The culture values people and the executives treat the employees as individuals not numbers. The organization educates the employees to perpetuate the culture to each other and to new employees. Management fosters a health work/life balance and encourages everyone to give back to the community. This is a place I would recommend to anyone.

Cons

The rate of growth puts pressure on the culture and requires additional focus to ensure the intent is not lost.

I agree. Rapid growth puts pressure on the culture. We need to remain focused. Thank you for the feedback!
