Pros

Benefits are great. Optimism still lives in some workers.

Cons

Poor leadership. When applying for jobs, its about who you know, not what.

Pros

Benefits and most coworkers that are not in leadership roles are friendly.

Cons

WWT has a big problem with making promises and not following through. This includes pay raises, promotions, ability to move from logistics to the lab, and more. There is also a huge problem with favoritism. If you are not buddies with management, more times than not you can forget about getting promotions. They have the worst scheduling consistency. I was first hired for 8-4 shift but lack of communication was apparent because that shift no longer existed so i got moved to 6-230. I was hired working a second job and was told I would get worked with but after a year was told I had to pick WWT over the other job. At one moment they are focused to your time to the MINUTE, sending you home at 2:29pm when you leave at 2:30. But then regardless of your out-of-work life schedule they spring on to you that you will be working 6 - 12hour days for 3 months (June - July - August) and you arnt allowed to schedule vacation time during that period. People have lives, children and second jobs that don't run on your schedule. But if you try and speak up or ask to be worked with they USE their core values against you and say "you arnt embracing change". People shouldn't have to embrace making life more difficult.

Thank you. Customer activity determines the volume of work but clearly we can do better with schedule management to improve work-life balance. Thanks for all you're doing.

Thanks. We work hard to listen to our employees (town halls, employee surveys, leadership surveys, glassdoor, appraisals, others). I appreciate your feedback.
