Pros

There is a strong culture of mentorship throughout the company. It's about training everyone to be the next potential leader. Placing the right people into the right position and giving them support to succeed. Feedback is encouraged from bottom to top to promote positive change and a better understanding of department or an individuals needs. There are too many rewards to list that effect all WWT employees.

Cons

There is always room for improvement. Although the trust level is high, it remains a step in our core values that is fragile during coaching process.

Pros

The company receives insight and works with the employees to better the company.

Cons

As an associate, it is best to look for ways of improvement such as climbing the ladder than remaining just an associate. Some employees would expect to have a much greater pay after working with a company for so many years but this company is all about learning more and everyone eventually getting a better position.

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback. I recommend you talk to your manager or department manager about what classes to take or degree to pursue to aid in your career advancement. If you're interested in another area, meet with a manager or director or VP from that department to discuss this. We have an open door. Or, I would be happy to meet with you about this. Thanks again and good luck!

Pros

Benefits were very good and inexpensive

Cons

Salary was not competitive with the market where I live. Management seems to think that salaries in STL should apply everywhere. There is no leadership only managers. Company is run like a monarchy, do as I say and don't have any ideas of your own. I watched several people try to make changes in methodologies and process over the few years that I was there, to only be demoted or worse. Maybe it would be more accurate to say the company is run like the mob, nepotism is rampant through out the organization not only internally but, with the vendors too. If you aren't willing to suck up to one of the bosses then you may get to work there but, you will never be more than your job description.
