Pros

My compensation was decent, but also the same amount I get paid at better companies.

Cons

When I accepted the job I had read all of the negative Glassdoor complaints about WIRB but did not believe them. I left a good job for the worst job of my life, the kind that ruins weekends because you are stressed about ever going back. After I left many people were let go that had good performance reviews. While I was there, I dealt with extreme micromanagement. Also be prepared to be talked to if using your own sick time. I am so happy I have a new great job elsewhere and was just thinking about how lucky I am, thought I'd warn others. Obviously the good reviews are fake. No one goes on Glassdoor while working for a company to write a rave review. Think about it.

Thank you for your review and congratulations on finding a job that is a better fit for you. I do agree that this type of platform lends itself to having more negative reviews than the positive ones. That being said, I have had employees tell me they disagree with some of the reviews they have read from this site and let me know they posted a review of their own. As an organization, we do not take the time to write fake reviews or encourage people to do so.

Pros

One of the best things at WIRB is the opportunity for growth. There's so many different aspects of the company to learn about, and there's opportunities to learn all of them, and make more money doing it! Also, the flexibility has been a huge factor in me coming back to the company. The management and HR were not only understanding to my medical situation, but they bent over backwards to make sure that I could work, and take care of my family and health.

Cons

One thing that I can say that has room for improvement would be the way that training is handled. I think that there should be a better system in place to help people learn their jobs, whether it's the temps, or the full time employees. But that's about it.

Pros

There were not any benefits to working here.

Cons

This company abused the fact that I was young and eager for a salaried position. They basically expected all salaried people to work 24/7 and be available no matter what. The workload was ridiculous and the pressure unreal. I actually stopped working there because they drove me into disability. They told me that I could either take long term disability or be fired. It was totally unethical.
