Great Company and Great Executives

Pros

Teamwork makes the dream work! The Sales Operations team is high performing and we have a great executive leader heading up our organization. Overall the company is a great place to work. We have a common language in our IML (which includes our core values, mission and vision) and every employee is held accountable to our core values in addition to their job functions. Our cross functional teams work hard together to exceed customer expectations day in and day out. No one person or role is 'better' than another and there is always an opportunity to shine in any role you're in, you just have to want to do it and work hard. Our health benefits are truly amazing and often times people don't realize how powerful these benefits can be until you need them. We have a dedicated D&I leader and multiple Employee Resource Groups where people can connect with each other, learn from each other and show up as an ally.

Cons

No company is perfect. WWT has been growing tremendously fast and with that comes challenges we have to adapt to. Additionally the world we live in is changing faster than ever before and I believe the Executive team is trying very hard to learn and adapt as things change to ensure WWT is and continues to be a great place to work for all.

Pros

It's probably a good place to work if you are located at headquarters. If you work in one of their warehouses, expect the bare minimum.

Cons

This company is incredibly stingy, they will make new "company rules" out of thin air. They made a policy that anytime you are forced to quarantine it is 14 days unpaid. Annoying policy considering the company prides itself so heavily on being a "Great Place to Work", but in efforts to save money I understand why they do it. Then they double down and make you use any Vacation time[PTO] that you have until it is depleted. I reached out to HR to see if I had an option not to use all the PTO I carried over from last year and was promised that this policy benefits me in the long run... Instead of doing operational shutdowns the WWT is now doing operational "pauses". This means that if someone tests positive that they will make you sit in a breakroom for an hour while a 3rd party cleaning company sprays chemicals all over your workspace. The first time this happened more than half of the people in my department had headaches, some people had to go home because it was so bad it was making them throw up. Worldwide technology is also stingy when it comes to hiring people on. To the extent that people in my building have been contractors through Areotek for upwards of 18 months. That is 18 months that you aren't getting PTO, Paid holidays, Health insurance for your kids, etc.

We appreciate the feedback. All employees may use company provided paid time off if they must quarantine due to close contact with the virus. This is not new. Employees who fall ill to the virus may receive paid COVID Sick Leave. The top priority is to keep everyone safe. Pausing operations to clean is an important safety measure in accomplishing this. WWT often utilizes third party staffing to help augment our workforce. Subcontractors may be hired but this depends on foreseeable and sustainable business activity along with their individual performance. Until a subcontractor is converted, they have the opportunity for benefits with their employers. WWT does not own any race tracks but does sponsor the naming of Gateway International Raceway. Thank you.
