Pros

WD can inspire your mind and expose you to new industries. Great people do work here, and you will learn a lot. I think management is making an effort to use more modern management styles, but implementation is poor, and not sure why. Also benefits are good, although not like a tech company would be. The office is in a great location if you don't want to work downtown.

Cons

Poor moral and they under-pay. Don't expect significant raises. I wouldn't stay long at entry level, or you'll be discrediting yourself and losing a lot of money in the long run.

Thank you for your feedback! This review was originally posted in 2014, so if you're still a current employee, we hope you're having a positive experience at WD. 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 currently 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

Exposure to a lot of variety and you can use the experience to learn the basics in design, work with a diverse client list, and sometimes work with some REALLY talented people.

Cons

You are a monkey and a number. Middle management is ego fueled and steps on fingers to keep you under them. Upper management doesn't know how to manage an agency this size and struggles with employee development. Really sad that opportunities for growth and salary advancement have to come from their name on your resume and you seeking employment elsewhere. Really a toxic environment.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you're having a positive experience working with us. Please contact Jessica in Talent Care and we can get you connected with our Benefits Administrator to make sure you have our complete list of benefits. We've found that sometimes Associates aren't aware of some of the things that we offer and we don't want you to miss out!
