Pros

You get paid for cheating people and taking their money. So if you are into that kind of stuff this is a great place for you to work.

Cons

Any vendor that I was forced to signed up complained because no one was getting any bookings. The amount of time I have gotten yelled at for ripping people off is insane. I wouldn't work for this company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us; however, we respectfully disagree with your feedback on how we treat our customers. It's disappointing to hear that you haven’t seen the value behind our product that has successfully helped hundreds of thousands of businesses grow. Our core value of Delighting Customers and Code of Conduct that we strictly enforce directly conflicts with some of the feedback you have shared. It sounds like you had a number of frustrations and that your expectations did not align with ours. We sincerely regret to hear this is your perception of working for WeddingWire. We have multiple channels to share your feedback internally and strongly encourage you to raise your concerns with any member of management up to the CEO.

Experience varies by department

Pros

The reason that there are so many reviews here all over the rating spectrum is that your experience at WeddingWire will vary wildly depending on your department, your team, and your specific role. Some departments or teams are cliquey, others are not at all. Some teams may side-eye you for taking vacation time, but others will happily let you use your unlimited PTO to your heart's content. (Seriously!) There's so much variation, so unless a review is about your prospective department, it's pretty much meaningless. Here are some pros: - Friendly and engaged executives - Management who believes in transparency and allows you to submit tough questions anonymously, which are later answered publicly (at least for the Product department) - Free breakfast every day - 2 free lunches per month - Smart coworkers who are also friendly and helpful - Casual, laid-back atmosphere - Environment that's welcoming of and celebrates new parents - Some people can work remotely

Cons

- The sales department seems to have a high-pressure environment and high turnover. Make sure you enjoy sales / cold-calling before accepting an offer for a sales role. - Some talented people have been leaving due to recent changes, and even though they'll be replaced, it still places a damper on morale. - The changes mentioned above, which some people disagree with. - The 401k match is tiny, the smallest I've ever experienced at a company.

It means a lot that you’ve shared your feedback. As a current employee, you know (and pointed out) that we value all types of feedback and appreciate the opportunity to understand and adjust course accordingly. While often hard, change can also be exciting. The change that we’re experiencing in this growth phase of WeddingWire isn’t easy, but we believe it will set us up for incredible success as we continue our global expansion. I couldn’t agree more with the pros that you’ve listed; we pride ourselves on the engagement of our executives, the flexibility provided to ensure the balance of work and life, and most importantly our great people and teamwork. As you’ve probably heard me say before, the people are what brought me to WeddingWire. After a little less than a year, the people here and their dedication to being the best team they can is still what I find most exciting and rewarding. Thank you, again, for sharing your thoughts. If at any point, you’d like to discuss your experience with me in person, I welcome the opportunity to discuss further.
