Pros
- Client list include the largest retail and restaurant brands in America; great opportunity to build your resume with a lot of high profile clients. - Similarly, most staff email regularly with client-side teams so also a good source of diverse connections across corporate America. - W2GI provides a unique set of services that are very visible; can be interesting/satisfying to work on. - Small company and open office means good performance is very evident and recognized. - Senior leadership is personable and inspiring on a 1-on-1 basis - Decent facilities/kitchen with coffee and snacks, catered lunch every few weeks.
Cons
- Salary/benefits are OK for entry-level but static, i.e. negotiate upfront and don't expect a big raise each year. - ESOP provides little benefit because most employees do not stay long enough to start accumulating (2 years), or become fully vested (7 years). - High turnover: A lot of entry level employees are hired, poorly integrated, and then disappear after a few weeks. Also, the most competent employees tend to quit between 1-3 years. - A lot of clique-ish non-contributing employees with vague responsibilities. - Area surrounding office is semi-industrial and the lunch options are very limited/boring.
