Current Employee – been working at Wyndham Worldwide full-time for more than a year

2) Scope for growth if you're in the right department.
3)Great bonus and other perks like Onsite gym, Summer fridays.
Cons – 1) HR is very slow and at times a road block in your development
2) Very disorganized way of working
3) Extreme risk averse culture resulting in delays that contribute to loss in productivity
Advice to Senior Management – This is a very good company with a desire to be in line with top companies. A lot of effort has been put into changing the culture and that seems to be working but they need to focus on improving the talent at all levels. There are people with great ideas and excellent work ethic but find they're stuck because they've not been with the company for long enough or because they're supervisor is not that actively involved in their career development.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Wyndham Worldwide as a contractor
Pros – Sporadic good work/life balance. People are generally nice.
Cons – This comment relates to IT only. Culture of ignorance and irresponsibility. Current productions systems are deficient in any way imaginable. New systems development is lead by unqualified. unprofessional "yes, sir" managers and are no better. Lies prosper and truth is banished. In all, the most toxic environment I've see in my career.
Advice to Senior Management – Hire honest, qualified managers.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Wyndham Worldwide full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – World-wide brand recognition. They are striving to become a more green company.
Cons – No clear SOP's, slow decision-making from management, unrealistic work/life balance, understaffed offices. They look good on paper, but often due to being understaffed, they under deliver. They need better management on all levels.
Advice to Senior Management – make decisions based on feedback from employees in the field before you lose valuable talent
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Wyndham Worldwide full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Discounts at hotels/resorts, Starbucks at corporate office, good paid off policy
Cons – Worked here for many years. The last several years there has been a steady decrease in respect and appreciation for employees and the franchisees they are supposed to support. The company has had record years, but that is rewarded with mediocre raises. There is no investment in technology, so systems and hardware are outdated.
Advice to Senior Management – There is more to a successful business then numbers and the bottom line. There is an extreme disconnect between the PR statements and town hall meetings and the reality of the day to day.

Current Employee – been working at Wyndham Worldwide full-time for more than a year
Pros – Benefits start the first day of the next month you start. They don't pay full medical/dental....employee has a large co fee to pay. Otherwise, not many other pro's.
Due to management changing all the time, it's help me keep my job because they froze the goal requirements while waiting for new management.
Cons – Run by corp. so management is always changing. I have had 4 different managers within 2 years. New managers bring in new rules that do not work well because they have not been with the site before and do not know what makes things run smoothly. Another new manager makes the same mistakes the last one made, etc... all hurting the employees. Moral low. Very high turn over of marketers. By the time new manager figures things out they are moved to another site. They pay sick leave but penalize employee greatly if they call in sick, making it so you do not hit your minimum weekly goal. Don't make your goal, you get written up. 4th write up, fired.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep a manager at a site at least a couple years to build a great team. Since this job is so draining on an individual, allow 4 day work weeks if employee wishes for it, instead of making work 5 days, 5 hours days.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
