Pros

Great benefits if your in a supervisor role and above.

Cons

If you are trying to grow at the Edwardsville location, good luck. If your not friends, or sleeping with someone your not growing period. Leadership will not allow people who have aspirations to something. Its extremely difficult to gain a position on the engineering side of RACK and STACK or anywhere. You are met with more obstacles to even get looked at. If they give you feedback and work on it you are met the following with something stupid like your not qualified when you are. The supervisors are now just adding more onto the leads they have to deal with. Their is one lead that does an extreme amount of work to be met with crap deadlines with no time to provide a great product but wants all of the speed and quality. For example here is x amount of racks here 3 days to completely get it done. Let's just say those racks are more than 8. The best company to work for and grow. Yea ok it's the best company to work for if your not at the itc rack and stack. Any where else is probably the best place but not the naic- St. Louis. The C.I.P. (continuous improvement program) is a joke. You come up with an idea the potentially saved the company millions of dollars a year and all you get is a CHANCE a CHANCE to win a 50 dollar gift. Make it more of an appreciation thing do something like 1 percent of the money the company has saved using your idea. Not a CHANCE to win 50 dollars. Also people who bend over backwards to help and ensure project deadlines are met which is a ton more than you will think. They dont get a chance to do anything more than the low man on the totem pole and all of leaderships friends and people they get brought in and watch them move straight up without even putting time in. Just to be honest I cant even say that I enjoy working here. And I used to be very proud to work here, felt like what I did was valued. Now I know I'm just a number who just has to produce because we have people not even qualified to do the jobs they're in. You know the company has lost some very extremely great people in the past because they were friends with the right people or not social enough. Just reward hard work with real appreciation for the real individuals who do the real work

Thanks. All full-time employees of WWT (regardless of whether or not you're a supervisor or above) have the opportunity to participate in all our benefits. Everyone who submits a C.I.P. (Continuous Improvement Program), big or small, is entered into a monthly drawing for prizes. I will make sure to share your feedback on this. Thanks for your hard work and for providing your thoughts and concerns.
