      Smoke & Mirrors

      Pros

      Good people within the office on the whole. Friendly group.

      Cons

      Where there smoke there is usually fire. The whole thing is a smoke screen. The upper management from Dublin is a two-faced deceptive group. The management at the TO office is inexperienced and a joke. Typical US firm style. They work you to the max, and discard you when they feel you cannot help them. They dislike anyone who has good knowledge and knows more than the top staffers. HR is a total joke and the manager has no idea what they are doing. The other managers are non-existent in their ability to manage and are spies for the the head office and lie to your face. Watch your back from some of them as they will use you and bounce you. The training at the start looks good, but it is all a smoke screen. There is no in-depth training from the local office. There is no long term here, it is a stepping point and that's all. They cannot get another client as they have no understanding on servicing the immediate priorities. Pay level for the amount of work required is insufficient.

      Thank you for your feedback! This review 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.

      Good place to work for awhile, don't plan a career there, have a plan "B"

      Pros

      Fair compensation to start with, competitive benefits with a 401k. Good smart people to work with that take pride in the work they accomplish.

      Cons

      Seems to lack a vision for the future. Appears to be in a mode of revolving door of adding people then letting them go. Growth strategy seems to lack a good plan for implementation. Do not expect generous pay increases for the time you work at WD.

      Pros

      There are a lot of great people here, and some great clients too. WD uses their reputation in the industry to get involved with many substantial and influential clients in the retail industry.

      Cons

      Management and corporate structure seems to vary based on whatever the latest book is on the nightstand of the CEO. Too often, they rely on their reputation in the industry to bring in new business, but unfortunately, in a competitive market, that's not going to be enough. In a competitive RFP, WD will usually be the highest quote, and when the projects is awarded to someone else, the feeling is, "well, that client is missing out. We're better then those other guys, but they just don't know it.". Hiring sprees and significant reductions in force are common place depending on forecasted business, which makes it a very unstable environment to work. Salaries are not competitive, but you are supposed to accept this to work at such a prestigious company.
