Pros

No Pros at all. WMS is not what it looks like outside. It could do lot better with right Management.

Cons

Consultants in HR only look for whats best for them. Had to fight to move my resume forward. (Discrimination) HR was not even aware of e-verify. Got e-Verified recently. Old Habits die hard. WMS need a change in HR. No Growth. In other words "to go to many lengths to look impressive, good, and worthy towards another person".

Business Outlook

Pros

Exciting industry (lottery & gaming). Combination of large company strength and brand and small company "family" environment. Supports veteran hiring initiatives. Growth strategies into gaming. Professional executive team. Long successful history in industry.

Cons

Dissonance between desired and perceived work culture. Top talent tends to be stretched too thin with minimal resources. Less committed to investing in technology and innovation in departments that support and contribute to the company's success. Many employees didn't know or understand the company's goals.
