Pros
-Great changes are happening across the organization. -Great opportunities for individuals who like to solve business problems. -Great team of people who are committed to delivering success. WAND is a challenging place to work and only those up for a challenge should apply. In my 5+ years of tenure at WAND, I have seen leadership changes in the company with varying degrees of success. The most recent changes focus on the best aspects of any technology company, hyper growth through market knowledge and market alignment. This vision and thought leadership are why I have extended my commitment to WAND. WAND has always been supportive of the personal development of individuals on the team as well as my goals in life. As with any business, tough decisions happen, and WAND is the place where you need to push through challenges to find success. A former boss of mine asked me once, “Are you going to row harder or get off the ship?” In the last six months, I have been asked to row harder, and the result has been professional growth in ways that I only imagined before. Some significant impacts have happened with the recent changes at WAND. The overall capability to deliver value into the marketplace is growing. The culture is shifting and becoming collaborative and inclusive. The problems we solve for businesses are becoming clearer and more relevant to our clients. Every day I come to work I see employees, customers, and leadership beginning to develop the healthy business processes that will fuel another generation of success. WAND is in transition, and our innovation core is transforming into a reliable source of restaurant technology. I see many challenges ahead, and I am ready to tackle those challenges with people who are committed to building the most reliable source of restaurant technology in the world while developing our client’s profitability with our products and services.
Cons
-Some individuals may not like the unique challenges of delivering technology to the $782 billion restaurant industry. -WAND requires consistent high performance at all levels of the organization while not always clearly communicating expectations.
