Smoke and Mirrors

Pros

Laid back/open environment. Some talented co-workers.

Cons

No plans for personal growth. Low-to-no raises. Unstable financials. Lack of creative structure. Poor "project management". Frequent turn over rate. These reasons and more create a strange, toxic environment at WD. Where employees constantly feel uneasy and unsure about what's "really going on".

Thank you for your feedback! This was originally posted in 2017, 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! We also offer a Recognition Program that can be utilized by managers and our Executive Leadership team to reward high-performing Associates individually in a variety of ways throughout the year. This program can be used in addition to our other compensation adjustments. 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.

Pros

Some great people to work with.

Cons

Cliquey, PM's removed from team's process. Layoffs happen every four months or so. No room for growth. Coworkers very concerned about everyone's business. Morale LOW. No raises or bonuses.

Pros

Good benefits and overall, the company employs a skilled and talented set of associates.

Cons

With the ever-evolving and changing direction of Executive Leadership it's difficult to understand and implement "the next big idea." The role I was hired for was NOT the actual job function performed. There is much ambiguity and uncertainty of what a management role entails. In essence, there are more Chiefs than Indians which makes it difficult to have the necessary resources to perform the work.
