Pros

Exposed to high visibility clients, good people, flexible managers, good launchpad for future

Cons

Long hours, career growth is not a focus, particular areas of the business get more attention than others (big brother vs little brother)

Pros

Good benefits and amazing PTO. Great team of friendly people to work with. The work environment is pretty cool and modern, which has the potential to be inspiring.

Cons

Management hire people and give them false impressions of their role and the potential within the company. Starting out there is minimal one on one training. Instead you are usually just thrown to the wolves and expected to learn everything you need to know by reviewing PDFs. Employees are expected to work longer hours as the norm and never given the opportunity to work shorter weeks when work is light. It's easy to get lost once you fulfill their needs. This company doesn't care about your abilities or your career path, and trying to reach out about new opportunities within the company just gets you into trouble. There are only a handful of people who get to do satisfying work. Most everyone else is banished to do role out work ad nauseum. The channels for communication are beyond broken, especially with the ever changing structure and titles within the company.

Poor upper management

Pros

Other that management at the very top, there are some very good people working at this firm

Cons

The ONLY thing driving upper management is money and climbing the ladder. They do not care at all about their employees

Thank you for your feedback! This was originally posted in 2015, but we wish you the best in your current and future employment. For others reading this feedback in 2022, we’d like to highlight some of the things that we’re proud of at WD. In 2021, our overall turnover was 17% and our 6-year average turnover is 26%. If you compare that to the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s national averages, we’re doing much, MUCH better than the rest of the country – even in our own industry and region – where the annual separation/turnovers are in the 40-60% ranges for that same 6 years. (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/jolts.t16.htm#jolts_table16.f.10) We’re really proud that our clients are keeping us busy and our associates are choosing to stay! In the WD Associate Satisfaction Survey from April 2021, here is how our Associates rated their satisfaction with working at WD… - 8.3 out of 10: Overall Satisfaction Score - 8.9 out of 10: “I would like to be working at WD Partners a year from now” - 9.1 out of 10: “Inappropriate or derogatory comments and behaviors are not tolerated on my team.” - 9.3 out of 10: “My manager treats everyone fairly with respect, regardless of their differences or background.” - 8.2 out of 10: “I’m able to manage my work in a way that allows me to maintain a healthy balance between work and home.” We examine all reviews from Glassdoor to identify any trends or areas of concern, but we also encourage all Associates to reach out to their manager, Executive Leadership Team Member, and/or Talent Care at any time. We do our best to offer potential solutions and share what is being done to address those concerns, though we understand that available outcomes may not always resolve all frustrations.
