Needs work - Recensione dipendente - Anonymous presso Wolverine Worldwide

Compensation, lack of career development opportunities, out of touch leadership. Compensation, especially for employees that have been at the company more than 3 years is completely out of whack with market rates. The salaries are comparable to 2014 market rates, not 2022. I’ve been fortunate to have worked with great leaders at Wolverine (all of which were new to the company from other footwear companies) however all of the great leaders I worked for left the company when they realized how difficult it was to implement change, manage the business effectively, and do the most important thing: sell shoes. I didn’t realized how toxic the environment was until I was no longer being guarded by my former leadership. Be prepared for never ending fire drills, most of which are due to sr leaderships lack of proactive planning and not listening to the warnings from the experts below them. Not every area or brand is the same, but there is a lot of gaslighting and toxic behavior, especially when numbers are down. I’ve witnessed approximately 15-20 layoffs (if not more) during my time at Wolverine. I was actually part of a 200 person layoff years ago and was “saved” and moved into a different department.
