Pros

Outside of the warehouse the work/life balance is much better. There are some amazing leaders who care about your well-being. Most colleagues are helpful and will share their knowledge. They do have fun events you can attend.

Cons

They could follow through with getting rid of bad leaders. Something needs to give for all the mandatory OT in the warehouses (this is how companies loose good employees, it's not good for anyone's mental health, and there's no work/life balance). Needs to be more competitive with pay, consider paying loyal employees more/give them a better raise for not leaving the company (been with the company for 3 years and new hires are making what I'm now making).

We are glad to hear that our leadership, employees, and culture activities inspire a great work environment! We recognize work-life balance is important, no matter where you are employed within the organization, and we continue to take steps to ensure we are setting expectations and policies which support our employee’s wellbeing. WWT is very conscious of calling over-time and when possible, we seek to get “voluntary” however, mandatory overtime becomes essential when increase business activity is needed to support customers. Our aspirational goal is to have “no bad managers” and this is always top of mind as we continue our efforts in coaching and developing our leaders. Thank you.

Pros

My manager was very supportive she would give great feedback and try to help me grow . The people were awesome. My coworkers were great and supportive.

Cons

For all the projects we had regional managers there was one that had it out for me. This person was relentless and I went to my manager. The problem I had with this person was they never stop coming after me and my manager tried to stop this person in their tracks, but they tried a way to come after me. My manager’s manager was kind of not a good manager because he was all about the numbers and he didn’t care about the person. He never once had a one-to-one conversation with me I noticed that he played favorites with people and it’s just not good to do that. I believe that as a senior manager, you have to get to know your team instead of hearing what other people say. There was a senior project manager out there who essentially threw me under the bus. When people would resign, all of the projects that were left behind by the previous person they would dump it on one person. It is a lot of work to dump on a person. Some managers would help you grow and there are others that will do the work behind your back on a project. There was one who would start adjusting my project numbers and get mad at me. Mind you this was my first year and this manager would throw me under the bus. “Great Workplace?” Please
