Pros

-Competitive 401k, cheap insurance -Slow paced environment can be nice, but this creates constant fire drills -Great for employees with families -Awesome office design in new buildings, investing in corporate HQ further -Supply Chain filled with super nice people, Finance notoriously difficult to interact with, HR can barely tie shoes.

Cons

-Technical skills are massively lacking in supply chain and finance. If hiring was done right they would only need 50% of the staff they employ. -Poor compensation compared to market. Will promote/expand role without raises and expect no complaints. -Thick layer of middle management filled with nieces, nephews, and children of senior staff. good luck with a promotion if you have the wrong last name. This is literally joked about openly at WWT. Appalling. -Poor performers are promoted to another role (Bus Dev) rather than let go. Results are a top heavy organization of middling talent. Sometimes even a kid promoted to a parent's old position. -I cannot emphasize enough the cult-ish talk about culture and values. If the employees showed any actual level of commitment to these ideals they wouldn't have to talk about them all the time.

I found it interesting you listed as a “Pro” that HR can barely tie shoes. I’ll take that to mean we don’t micro manage. Best regards.

Pros

Best of the resellers in my opinion. Good salaries, family type environment, if you put out, you get rewarded. They live and breathe their stated values, it's not just lip service.

Cons

Heavy travel, sometimes short notice work.
