Getting to work with well-known brands

Minpunten

High turnover- so much so that they have begun to have a known reputation for it by those in the city that work in the industry Salary and benefits are not competitive Tight and often unrealistic deadlines Expectation to work ridiculous hours with little to no recognition or appreciation Non-existent on boarding Little if any access to management for guidance Having to play office politics Employees making inappropriate comments that created an uncomfortable work environment Lays off workers and takes away health insurance same day

Thank you for your feedback! We wish you the best in your future employment. For others reading this feedback, we’d like to highlight some of the things that we’re proud of at WD. In 2021, our overall turnover was 17% and our 6-year average turnover is 26%. If you compare that to the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s national averages, we’re doing much, MUCH better than the rest of the country – even in our own industry and region – where the annual separation/turnovers are in the 40-60% ranges for that same 6 years. (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/jolts.t16.htm#jolts_table16.f.10) We’re really proud that our clients are keeping us busy and our associates are choosing to stay! We’re also very proud of the work our teams do to welcome new Associates. Our onboarding program is a partnership between Talent Care and the new hire’s manager and we work together to pre-schedule new Associates with a variety of people within the company. In most cases, the feedback we get about onboarding is that it’s highly organized and helpful with expanding their connections outside of the discipline they’ll be working in day-to-day. This onboarding is available to all associates, regardless of work location, including Associates working remote. We also offer a Recognition Program that can be utilized by managers and our Executive Leadership team to reward high-performing Associates individually in a variety of ways throughout the year. This program can be used in addition to our other compensation adjustments. In the WD Associate Satisfaction Survey from April 2021, here is how our Associates rated their satisfaction with working at WD… - 8.3 out of 10: Overall Satisfaction Score - 8.9 out of 10: “I would like to be working at WD Partners a year from now” - 9.1 out of 10: “Inappropriate or derogatory comments and behaviors are not tolerated on my team.” - 9.3 out of 10: “My manager treats everyone fairly with respect, regardless of their differences or background.” - 8.2 out of 10: "I’m able to manage my work in a way that allows me to maintain a healthy balance between work and home.” We examine all reviews from Glassdoor to identify any trends or areas of concern, but we also encourage all Associates to reach out to their manager, Executive Leadership Team Member, and/or Talent Care at any time. We do our best to offer potential solutions and share what is being done to address those concerns, though we understand that available outcomes may not always resolve all frustrations.

Pluspunten

Everyone is really great to work with and the culture is great even being remote. Good projects for your resume.

Minpunten

They seem to do decent sized layoffs almost every quarter even if they know work will only slow down temporarily. They then reach out to hire you as a contractor when projects pick back up again and they are short staffed. It’s not a stable job by any means. I’ve coworkers who put more than 15 years into the company get laid off and then rehired as contract two months later. Horrible business model.
