Current Employee – been working at Worldwide Express full-time for more than a year
Pros – I've worked for Worldwide for 2 years now, and we have a culture unlike any other company I've ever seen. There is a huge support system, the teams (on both a national and local level) are awesome, and I love going to work every single day. From a financial standpoint, we have an uncapped earning potential. As long as you're willing to put the time in, the payoff is huge. It is also a very training intensive atmosphere, and the training is second to none. When you perform well, there is very quick upward mobility. Not only do people move up quickly, but it's an almost entirely promote from within environment. There's something really cool about knowing that your managers/VP's/etc were all at some point where you are now. My favorite thing about WWEX is that I always knew I talked too much, now I just get paid to do it!
Cons – If you aren't wiling to work hard then this definitely isn't the place for you. You truly do get what you give. Sometimes the hours are long, but the rewards that come from all the hard work are more than worth it.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you're doing!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Worldwide Express part-time for more than a year
Pros – Paid lunch. Decent location in the loop, near the Merch Mart.
Cons – No job security. One day your fine, the next you could be fired. No trust in employees. Always looking over your shoulder. Terrible work environment. Cut throat atmosphere in the office. And frankly, the work itself was just awful and not stimulating.
Advice to Senior Management – I mean, I'd say have a little more trust in employees and give them some room to operate. I get it's sales so not performing needs to be addressed, but until that happens let people work.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Worldwide Express full-time for less than a year
Pros – Very hard to sell, even if you know your shipping. They say they go after air shipping, but when they show companies price they give them ground price. We are in kansas and most people don't need to use air because ground is so sufficient.
Cons – There are so many competitors that its hard to gain business. Once you have a meeting, most companies will look at price and choose another one. The prices and software arnt that beneficial to the actual company. It almost feels like your lying to them. I would never switch or use there product in my own business.
Advice to Senior Management – Give people time off.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Worldwide Express full-time for more than a year
Pros – Training and Development was the best thing this job offered. Corporate and Local Management did a great job preparing me on how to sell in the real world. I used these skills to land my next job. I didn't want to leave Worldwide, but the opportunity was tremendous so I had to take it.
Cons – The cold calling can be tough at times. However, if you have a good Manager (like I did) who spends a lot of time with you in the field it makes it a lot better.
Advice to Senior Management – Corporate Management needs to arrange more company wide get togethers. The National Sales Conference is an amazing experience and I think you should offer more gatherings like that throughout the year.

Current Employee – been working at Worldwide Express full-time for less than a year
Pros – WWE is a young, vibrant sales organization full of dedicated professionals. It's a fast-paced, forward-thinking environment that is professional, fun, and rewarding. I honestly couldn't be happier than I am with WWE, and I look forward to enjoying a long-term career with such a great group of people.
Cons – Definitely for those who can work as self-starters in a fast-paced environment - that's not for everyone, but if it's for you, no cons that I can see.

Current Employee – been working at Worldwide Express full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – This company is consistently growing from week to week. There are plenty of opportunities to increase what you make here both in your salary, commissions and contest winnings. A competitive company full of young, energetic people hungry to do well.
Cons – If you're not ready to work hard to earn your way, this is not the place for you. We work extremely hard, but are rewarded for it in several different ways.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep running regional meetings with employees who spend their time in the field. The best way to learn what's happening in your business is to ask those who are out there every day and see the trends in each market.

Current Employee – been working at Worldwide Express full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – The people in the organization truly care about your success and want you to be successful in everything you do. Our culture truly defines us and gives people the opportunity if they work hard to be personally and financially rewarded. This company is growing dramatically and will continue to grow and develop. Don't miss out on the opportunity!
Cons – This is an aggressive outside sales company so it can be very challenging at times. You need to have a level set of emotions and not let your highs get to high or your lows get to low. The people who can handle adversity well and not over think things have success here. Anything you do in life where you have the ability to move up quickly and make a lot of money should be difficult at times and this company is no different.
Advice to Senior Management – From a management perspective we need to continue to develop the next best people and provide our teams with the guidance they need to move forward in their careers. Don't lose sight of what got you to management. It is and was a tough path and you should be proud to be there. However don't forget about all the work it took to get there. Strive to get better every day.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
