Pros

Plenty of truly talented and likable people work here who regularly go above and beyond to contribute to a product, brand and team that they strongly believe in. WFH culture is well executed, and company objectives and strategy are also generally transparent.

Cons

There’s a huge disconnect between the CEO’s/Board’s thinking, action at C-level, and the reality of most employees. Leadership fumbles from one poorly managed decision to the next, spending much of their time trying to recoup losses. A prime example of this is the global restructuring, which leadership has carried out about as poorly as can be done, prolonging the pain and inefficiency for the entire company. Recent management hires have impressive technical track records, but also poor/non-existent interpersonal skills and low empathy for the customer and the team. They have thus often been unable to make any kind of positive internal impact. The current business trajectory is not good, and most staff are highly demotivated and skeptical of management as they live from one layoff round to the next.

Pros

I worked here in the 'hey day' of WW, actually from 2003-2014, but it didn't scroll back far enough for me to choose the accurate year/date! I enjoyed it and met a lot of friends and it was fun to work with the people; I helped a lot of people. It was pretty amazing and rewarding...seeing the same people every week, but only once a week (customers) and I only saw some of my co-workers once a wee too, which is great b/c sometimes that leaves enough time to miss them! haha!

Cons

It was a very underpaid job and we were running around town doing 'at works" and traveler locations...(churches, etc.) ...working at our old, big "WW Center" was really nice, during the height of Points, etc..but it was not a job where you'll save any money or get enough work. Undependable...District mgr could change your life at the drop of her hat.
