Greatest place to work? For who? (Shipping)

Pros

Benefits, company parties, and if you have an obsession with Papa John's Pizza there is plenty of it to go around.

Cons

Terrible Management, Terrible Employees (ZERO core values), Hypocritical, and do not actually listen to employees whatsoever when voicing concerns. Let me start by saying I worked for this company for almost 5 years and had/have seen so many things change for the worse. Here are a few. I worked my heart out and in return I left because I refused to pour so much into a company that refused to give me a promotion because my "interview skills" were not up to their standard. Meanwhile still expecting me to continue to do the job of someone who got paid more. Leadership is a circus and empty shell of what it was when I first started. They forced out a manager because she was "too mean" and employees didn't like actually being told to work and not just sit around on their phones, DRINK on the clock and post photos of drugs on their Snapchat. Multiple employees hit equipment and product and are not drug tested or if they are, they use fake urine or other methods to pass. When pay was raised we were threatened with termination if we talked about it even though this is your right and freedom of speech. When it all came to light it turned out that it was not actually a raise. Those who had been working there and made close to what the overall raise was ($14 an hour) were given pennies while the most lazy and useless workers saw gains of up to $2. Every six months or so they gave this big smoke show on how well we were doing and how much the company is growing and is a great place to work... Yet here I am at another company because I could not stand to see my hard work and dedication wasted on such ignorant people. Everyone plays favorites; No matter the department. Shipping is by far no acceptation, if anything it is the worst place to be. Leads and Supervisors sleeping around with employees and other staff, and when proof of these events happening were brought out to light, HR made the ones who voiced the issue out to be in the wrong. Now they are left with people who actually care about work culture and meeting goals who are now too afraid to even voice their opinions and concerns. There is almost nothing good to say about WWT's shipping department or their HR department. Mirrors and smoke with no actual solutions and working good employees into early graves. But hey, $14 an hour to do what ever you want and not actually meet company goals.

Poor management

Pros

Work life balance was good until New manager came along.

Cons

Poor management. Manager was a dictator not a leader. Took concerns to HR several times and nothing was done. Threatened by manager with “immediate termination” on several occasions. Once WWT learns to listen to the employees and not the lying managers it might actually be a good place to work. Manager did not follow core values of company and was caught in several lies. Micromanaged on a daily basis is and harassed.
