Pros

World Wide Technology is a great place to work in the short time I have been employed I've moved up the ladder very quickly. There are tons of opportunity for growth, education, and experience in the technology field.

Cons

The temporary workers are the most annoying part of the job. It gets old and annoying listen to them all wine and cry about wanting to be hired full time. World Wide is not hiring you because you are temporary workers that my chair is smarter than. All you temps that wear yoga pants, sweatpants, and t-shirts that looks very unprofessional. Most of you can not talk or write at a third grade level. Just do us all a favor and stop asking if you are getting employed IT IS ANNOYING.

Our temporary workers (subcontractors) are very important to the overall operations in our warehouses. They help us support our customers during unexpectedly busy times. Often these individuals are able to become full-time WWT employees. I’m proud that WWT has such a great working environment that people want badly to become a part of it. No one is perfect and maybe you could politely provide some advice or coaching to these individuals. Thanks.

Pros

Nice people that are friendly, team players, and productive.

Cons

Wearing steel toe shoes all day on concrete floors. It's a killer if you're not use to wearing them. Not being hire for the position you applied for. Be honest about the process.

Thank you. I can't say I've ever had to wear steel toed shoes but I'll take your word for it. I really appreciate your hard work. Whenever possible, we do our best to promote from within. We do this by posting all opportunities internally and, when it makes sense, externally. I encourage you to discuss the process with one of your HR contacts in Edwardsville or you can contact me as well. Thanks again.
