Pros
Flexible work schedule, a lot of PTO

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.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you're having a positive experience working with us. Please contact Jessica in Talent Care and we can get you connected with our Benefits Administrator to make sure you have our complete list of benefits. We've found that sometimes Associates aren't aware of some of the things that we offer and we don't want you to miss out!
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
If you're lucky, you get to work on a wide variety of projects because their clients are massive and always have work. For the most part, the people are pretty okay to work with.
Cons
Management never listens to their employees. When we have too much work, they don't care and pile more on. There was one week where I literally had 37 deadlines due within a three-day period. And that's not uncommon there. My department was notorious for coming in at 6:30am each morning, and if I arrived at the office at 7:00am, before ALL the other departments in the office, I would either get made fun of or get in trouble with management. And no, I didn't work a certain shift, I worked a regular "9-5" job. I also had an incident with a fellow co-worker over a one year period that I reported as harassment (following the advice of a lawyer), and was met by both my manager and HR with "get the heck over it and stop being so sensitive". That was the last straw for me.
