Ware Malcomb reviews

Too many to list. First of all, the company changed CEO’s about a year ago. That’s when all went downhill. COVID-19 hit a year ago and the company does not even know what it is doing. Ken Wink and the executive team told the company we were doing so well despite the pandemic and how much they appreciated us. Yet our salaries were frozen (and still are) and they laid off a bunch of people the week after. What kind of message does that send! Not only that but they are still hiring a bunch of people. Yet they still can’t give us any raises? It’s tough working from home and being scared of the pandemic but they keep pushing us to work in the office. They don’t care about our safety no matter how many times they say they do. The workload is overwhelming. We work a lot more than we should and what our job descriptions state and don’t get compensated for it. They have these medallions they give out to people who deserve recognition. What are we going to do with those? The morale is really low at this company. I’ve heard a lot from other team members about their disappointment with WM’s handling of this situation. I understand it’s a pandemic and not everyone was prepared, but WM was severely underprepared. If you want to work for a company that treats you like a disposable worker instead of a human being, this place is for you. They don’t treat us “like family” no matter how many times they say so. Don’t be fooled by all the positive reviews. They are usually from upper management. The response from HR is also very generic. They are not helpful at all.

1. Very small office; around 8 employees . Some employees work from home or in other offices at times, making the office empty most of the time. 2. All the projects are corporate interiors, with small budget and intent of getting them done as quick as possible, resulting in low quality, repetitive work. There is lots of copy and paste from other projects. 3. The office is extremely corporate. You will be pigeon holed. Designers only do design. construction documents are done by a team in another office. Job captains are responsible for production coordination, with no design, client exposure or construction administration work. 4. Management gives you lots of work with unreasonable deadlines, then blames you for every error in the drawings even if it is not your fault. You are expected to work late most nights with no appreciation or even respect. There is a hostile environment where people are stressed out and pointing fingers, instead of helping each others and working as a team.
