Pros

CEO / Executive Leadership - The leadership at WWT seems to genuinely care about employees and making the company a great place to work. The company has been continually growing financially while adding to its current services and products offered, showing commitment to innovation and growth long term. Work / Life Balance - Great work/life balance and flexibility. Option to work remotely for some departments is a great benefit. Little micro management - if you are doing your job right, you are trusted. Overall culture - Positive culture overall; fantastic benefits; pleasant environment to be around WWT is a growing company which means there is a lot of opportunity to offer process improvements and make an impact.

Cons

Lack of clarity surrounding compensation - Annual raises are given, but no raises for position/title change regardless of additional responsibility and average market salary. Could lead to lack of motivation and high turnover. I have trouble understanding why they would want to lose strong employees that fit the culture. Really want to grow with the company, but not seeing that as an option. Managers do not seem to be empowered to make decisions at a mid-lower level.

Thank you. As Jim mentioned earlier this month, we are in the process of reviewing our compensation practices with a consulting firm to help provide more consistency and clarity to all our positions at WWT. More to come on this and thanks again.

Pros

WWT is a very innovative customer service oriented company; also very in tune to what makes employees happy. Many benefits and great training programs.

Cons

Pay is probably Not the highest in the industry but there are many upsides that make up for that - no layoffs, employee profit sharing, very low insurance costs, flexibility, no micro management.

Pros

Some good coworkers, nice break area.

Cons

Pay should be more , work place too hot, large building break area too far from work unit, 5 min travel time to break area and from with 15 minutes break so break is only about 5 minutes. . Should be allowed 7 minutes grace period to clock in.
