Svantaggi
Pretty much everything else - pay was well below market rate. They say they benchmark against the market, but they give raises of 1-2% and when I left the company, I had been searching for a while and had gotten 5 different offers over the course of my year's job search and ALL of them were paying 25-35% higher than WWT. - very nepotistic, boys club mentality. High bonuses for execs of millions of dollars while refusing to give raises to the majority of employees that even keep up with the rate of inflation. - do not invest in resources. While I was working at WWT in the corporate Maryland heights office, the company won a large contract and didn't properly staff the warehouse to accommodate the shipments. Corporate execs then proceeded to shame the employees at the Maryland heights office to work their 8-5 desk job, then go work a shift at the warehouse in edwardsville from 6pm-11pm to pack boxes because they didn't hire enough workers. This was for no pay or benefit and they called it "volunteering" to fulfill a many-millions dollar contract that WWT was getting paid for. When people didn't sign up to "volunteer," management accused people I worked with of not being team players. - the company spends money on very showy events like their Global Sales Meeting, where they fly out 1500 people from various sales/sales support positions to somewhere like Vegas to stay at a hotel like the Cosmo. Employees are forced to go, but then forced to SHARE ROOMS with coworkers. I knew people that had to share a hotel room with their bosses. No option was given to not attend the conference, and if you wanted to not share a room with a coworker/boss, WWT forced you to pay for your own accommodations. Very inappropriate and weird, especially since the bathrooms at the Cosmo have windows into the hotel room, so to shower, you had to coordinate a time with your roommate so they wouldn't be in the room while you showered and still would fear that they would walk into the hotel room and see you showering. The company spends money on things that don't matter while skimping on things like basic accommodations for a mandated work trip. overall, this company does not have its priorities in line and needs to prioritize its employees rather than ONLY profit.
