The turnover rate here says it all

Pros

There are some truly hard working people here trying to make the best out of a messy situation

Cons

Wasserstrom likes to use temp services to fill their empty positions and then drag out the temps as long as possible before hiring them on full-time. Additionally there is little to no training. You will be thrown in to the deep-end and left to sink or swim depending on how quickly you can adapt. Nepotism is rampant, as is sexism (there are very VERY few women in management positions and the bathroom situation in sections of the warehouses is spotty at best, no Paternity leave for new fathers, etc. ), and class-ism (there are very stark differences in how workers are treated and perks they are given based on the area in which they work) are unavoidable . There are employees who have been here for years who do minimal work but management will defend them endlessly while their co-workers grow increasingly frustrated with them and their lack of contribution/constant mistakes. The turnover here is insane, as raises are rare and minimal and the benefits are absolutely horrible. Everything quickly devolves into a blame game and no one wants to be accountable for any mistakes, as it may affect their chances for the incentive pay... Myself and several other former/current employees could easily write novels on the issues within this company.

Great Community Presence, Poor Employee Support

Pros

This company is always involved in community work. Whether it's Rebuilding Together, blood drives, food drives, etc. this company truly cares about Columbus. Our customer service team is a great opportunity for someone just out of college: steady Monday-Friday hours, benefits, paid time off, things that aren't that easy to get fresh from school anymore. If you happen to make good impressions on the right people, you will be promoted quickly and your hard work will be appreciated.

Cons

If you don't happen to be so popular with the right people, movement will be very hard. Sure, in some of these cases I've seen it's because these people aren't really Sales material due to personality traits, work ethic, etc. but I've seen too many times a really hard worker who does a great job go unnoticed because he/she isn't gossip buddies with a supervisor. It's very difficult to make good money here unless you are an account manager with high-activity accounts (these positions are few and far between). Raises will always cap out at 2% if you're able to even negotiate that. Rewards for being a good employee consist of more work and covering for our less competent coworkers.
