Pros

The company and executive leadership have a great thing going here. Technology is exploding and this company is taking full advantage. WWT has a solid customer base and I expect them to be around for a long time. Great health benefits.

Cons

Leadership. Unfortunately, the management here does not lead. Supervisors and senior management come from friendship rings. They are in desperate need of true leaders, not management, with business knowledge. Process management. This reflects back to the lack of leadership knowledge. We need a better process for almost everything. You have the wild west in LTC. One manager/sup wants it done one way, the next does it another way. This leads to confusion and headaches. No help to build your career. Again, going back to leadership. If you are not looking or already good friends with management forget about a career path. There is little to no career coaching or advancement. Pay structure. Pay is low. Others along with myself truly feel underpaid.

Still an Amazing Place to Work with Some Amazing People

Pros

The executives provide the foundation in our Core Values that allows us to do great things as a team. Hard work is part of being on an amazing team and I am on an amazing team. From the folks on the front lines in logistics to the Program Manager, there is a daily effort to make those around you better. It starts with open communication and thick skin. No one is perfect and we realize this, thus not taking constructive criticism personal. Shure it hurts to hear from time to time, that you made a mistake, but it is imperative that we hear it if we want to continue to improve. That to me is why WWT is a great place to work. Simply put, "people with values". I know there can be exceptions to this and growing fast makes it harder to keep those values across organizations but I know it is here and plan on doing whatever it takes to keep it here.

Cons

Struggles with recruiting. Growth provides struggles with assuring we have the right people in the right places and is more evident than ever that we have some troubles with building relationships in various organizations of the company. The economy and job market is not making things easy either but we have to find a way to get great people in here at all levels. I see an increase of negative reviews here and know that where they may apply in part, they do not describe this company as a whole.
