Vantaggi

- casual attire - unlimited PTO (as long as you hit your goals...) - in-depth training

Svantaggi

-Culture: The culture at WW is basically an odd combination of High School and College. There are actual CLIQUES and then the rest of it is basically about drinking. If you aren't a fan of fitting into cliques and don't like to be "iced" randomly and pressured into taking shots then you're not going to fit in at all. It's very much so geared towards those who just got out of college and were into the social/party scene. If you're looking to actually grow up - there aren't many "cultured" opportunities for that. When you do have ideas on how to mature the culture, people will literally look right at you and say "no one cares, everyone just wants to drink". (I can't make this stuff up.) -Sales/Goals: As you will see in several other reviews, newer sales reps are frequently given harder territories, if you don't succeed, then you're out. They won't give you a new territory and you are made to feel foolish for even thinking of asking for a new one. It won't matter how many calls you make or how hard you're trying, if you have a territory in a low income market, your goals won't match that. You're expected to sell just as much as higher income markets. -Management: Clearly plays favorites. There are certain managers that are great, but there are only a few. This goes right back to those cliques.
