Pros
It's nice that your supervisor has always done your exact job, so they know the exact market, challenges, etc. The internal database has decades of information about prospective and current clients, candidates, fees, etc, which is super helpful and makes it easy to target your outreach. Great benefits. Lots of employee engagement. Really a great place to work.
Cons
The fact that your supervisor is also your peer/competitor can get tricky if/when you steal clients from each other, but most supervisors are focused on developing/helping their workers rather than stomping them down. The internal rules dictate that you must contact each client every 3 months to maintain ownership, so everyone in the co, in all divisions, is reaching out, sometimes to the SAME client, to do the 3-month check in, which doesn't always translate to a good experience for a client who's getting bombarded with calls from many different people within the same agency. Also the internal applicant tracking system is buggy, crashes, etc. The users get very jaded about the system after a few months.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. You're correct about staffing being a competitive environment, especially with all levels of management being hands-on with recruiting or selling. I appreciate, too, your pointing out that managers are more focused on developing their staff members. We're so fortunate to have such a great team of supervisors and leaders. I'm glad you enjoyed your WinterWyman experience and are proud to be an alumni. If you can think of anything to ensure the success of your former colleagues, or future hires, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks! ~Ruth Dufresne, Director of HR

"Fantastic Temp & TTP Agency"
I have been working at WinterWyman full-time for less than a year
Pros
Highly communicative and supportive of the employee's needs. Very responsive and professional team of agents, as well as very warm and friendly. You feel like they truly have your back.
Cons
Pay is bi-weekly --- weekly pay makes it easier to manage finances.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Recruiting, and especially account management, isn't for the faint of heart and it can take a long time, and a significant amount of work, before seeing results. But, if you have the talent and put in the effort, it can be an incredibly rewarding and lucrative career. If you can think of any ways in which we can help speed your or your colleagues' success, please don't hesitate to reach out to me, another member of the Employee Engagement team, or a leader in your group. ~Cathy Renda, Director of Employee Engagement, 781.530.3163, crenda@winterwyman.com
"I Should Have Come Here First!"
I have been working at WinterWyman
Pros
They work hard to find an appropriate position. I had registered with several other agencies with no success. I was with Winter Wyman for a couple of weeks and they found me a long term contract position at a great rate! Theresa, Kate and everyone is friendly and approachable.
Cons
The health insurance is expensive and not great coverage. Premiums are high as are the deductibles.

Hello and thank you for your helpful review. We are so pleased you found a long- term contract position at a rate that makes you happy. We have to agree that Theresa and Kate are pretty amazing - thank you! Thanks, too for your feedback on health insurance and paid time off. We are continually looking for ways to improve benefits to all of our employees and will keep this feedback in mind. We wish you the best of luck and look forward to a continued working relationship.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, and more importantly, for your contributions during your WinterWyman tenure. I know I am biased, but I, too, believe our people and culture are what make us great. I also agree about the Waltham traffic. It can be a real challenge, although, the recent Winter Street reconfiguration has helped tremendously with inbound volume so, fingers crossed that the road work scheduled for this fall will be as equally beneficial for the ride home! If you have any suggestions or thoughts to share about how we can continue to enhance our culture for your former colleagues or future employees, please don't hesitate to reach out. Best of luck with all your endeavors. ~Michelle Roccia, EVP of Employee Engagement, 781.530.3070, mroccia@winterwyman.com
"A Company with Integrity"
- Work/Life Balance★★★★★
- Culture & Values★★★★★
- Career Opportunities★★★★★
- Compensation and Benefits★★★★★
- Senior Management★★★★★
RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at WinterWyman full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
- Organized onboarding for new-hires and existing staff - Transparency throughout the firm - Competitive Compensation Structure for sales staff - Fun committee, Community development committee, Health & Wellness Committee -- they have it all! - Above average tenure within the staffing agency - Lots of room to grow and be challenged - Executive team has an open door policy
Cons
- 401k and benefits are average. Wish this could be more competitive or the company would explore different alternative plans where we don't fail the 401K testing each year for HCE. - Recruiting is a hard business, so the people who tend to turnover do so before 2 years because staffing isn't right for them. - PTO maxes at 4 weeks after 5 years. Would recommend adding an extra week after additional time. - No equity as part of the compensation plan. The company only has profit sharing that's very minimal for sales staff.

Thank you for the thoughtful review and suggestions. You're 100% correct: Recruiting is a hard business and not right for everyone, but when you've mastered it and found success, it can be rewarding on so many levels. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how we can further help your colleagues achieve success. Please feel free to reach out to me confidentially. Many thanks! ~Michelle Roccia, EVP of Employee Engagement, 781-530-3070, mroccia@winterwyman.com

Great culture, lots of opportunities to give back, social outings, etc. Great place to start a career and build some business skills, and they promote high performers.

Recruiting is tough and very numbers driven. It isn't for everyone, but if you are motivated to make money, this could be an option.

Thanks so much for leaving a review on your WinterWyman experience. You're 100% right about recruiting being hard and a numbers game. It isn't a fit for everyone, but for those that have a knack for it, there isn't a better place to recruit than WinterWyman. I'm glad you're taking advantage of all the social and community offerings available, too. Please feel free to share any thoughts on bettering #LifeatWW with me, or another member of the Employee Engagement team, at any time. ~Michelle Roccia, EVP of Employee Engagement, 781-530-3070, mroccia@winterwyman.com
"Amazing Company Culture"

- Culture & Values★★★★★

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at WinterWyman full-time
Pros
WinterWyman is filled with some of the most tenured individuals in the industry. The people are incredibly genuine, not only to each other but to candidates and clients. By far, my favorite part about WinterWyman is the company culture. Despite the potential to be cut throat, the culture is phenomenal. Yes, everyone wants to do well and there is a sense of competitiveness to do well within each team, however there is no ill-intent.
Cons
The con is not so much about the company as it is about recruiting as an industry. There are people who leave WinterWyman after 1-2 years, but it is more so due to lack of interest to be in the industry, and not due to WinterWyman.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, especially one that made me a little choked up (must be allergies!). As you know, we are very proud of our culture and work hard to ensure our values are upheld. Recruiting is a hard business, and as you said, our people thrive on being competitive without being cut-throat (although tonight is our annual cornhole tournament so that may not be accurate for a few hours!). It's a special balance and we think we've achieved it. Thank you for the recognition and for sharing some of your career with us. If you can think of ways for us to ensure our culture is maintained for your former colleagues and new WWers, please don't hesitate to reach out. ~Michelle Roccia, EVP of Employee Engagement, mroccia@winterwyman.com, 781.530.3070
