Pros

I am a long time employee of WWT. While I love the work I do, I could do it in a wide variety of organizations. I have stayed with WWT for over 10 years not because of what I do, but because of who I do it with! The people within this organization are phenomenal. I work with some of the most intelligent, driven and hard working people I have ever known. No task is beneath anyone, there is no one here that acts like they are too good, or too big to get their hands dirty and get involved. There are no 'talkers', only 'doers' I feel a true sense of pride and accomplishment just about every day. An incredible sense of TEAM and PEOPLE FIRST. Leadership of this organization not only recognizes their employees, they participate in the 'doing' at every turn.

Cons

Nothing is perfect, no job or organization is perfect. WWT could do better with certain things. Their rapid growth has presented challenges when it comes to office space and other amenities. They have been slow to react to their growth in this regard. Additionally they could be more competitive with salaries with existing employees. As a long time employee, my salary growth has been slow. I feel that those that leave and come back to WWT have gotten substantial pay increases, while those that have stayed are locked into a very marginal yearly increase. I understand and agree that salary should have no tie to tenure...but seldom have I seen out of the norm increases for top performance. Salary negotiations are always a battle.

First, thanks for your 10 plus years of service working for WWT! Also, thanks for your thoughtful and constructive feedback. Growth of over 400 employees year-over-year the past several years has been a challenge with maintaining sufficient work space. That being said I can assure you that the Executive team is working diligently on our facility expansion plans that include our Corporate campus, Lakeview Logistics, ITC and our remote offices. I’m confident you will hear more about our specific plans during Jim Kavanaugh's Corporate update in early December. Thanks again for your years of service and your constructive input.

Pros

I love the innovative technical environment, employee-oriented and customer-oriented environment, total lack of "executives in a tower somewhere", and a company that does so much for the community. There is a general overall sense of sharing and teamwork.

Cons

Often too many people needed to make a decision causes delays in innovation. Remote employees struggle to feel part of the "corporate" side of things.
