Pros

While I was there, I had a great and amazing boss/mentor/leader. After that person left, there was a vacuum that has yet to be filled. The benefits are great, I will give them that. Group/Company wide activities were plenty, especially pre-covid

Cons

Lack of true leadership. No option for remote, even if your circumstances call for it. Promotions based on politics & not based off the merits of work. Management is more concerned with the company image being "modern" than producing quality work. No HR - major issues pertaining to harassments of all kinds. It's a small operation and yet, management knows little to nothing about their staff. There is no family element, more of an "every person for themself" mentality. There is also a bit of pitting people against each other, which leads to tons of animosity. The blame game is a regular thing - little to no accountability

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly regret any instances in which our employees have found their experience at WMX to be anything but enriching and rewarding. We appreciate the lengthy feedback and, while most items listed could be easily addressed or rebutted, the comment about no remote options is incorrect. While the company does not have fully remote positions, it does have a hybrid work schedule where employees work remotely some days and from the office others in addition to allowing temporary remote arrangements to assist with other medical or family-related circumstances when needed. While a great work relationship involves a mutual commitment by both parties, we will sincerely evaluate and review your feedback in order to deliver a better experience for you and for us. We humbly ask that you do the same. If you’d like to discuss the matter further, please contact us at hr@wearewmx.com. Your input helps us to continue making WMX an even better place to work. Thanks again for the feedback and best of luck in your career and future endeavors.

Pros

I've been working here for more than 3 years already and hopefully i'll stay many many years more... the culture is awesome; they make you feel part of a big family. The company cares about your career, therefore they give you all the support and training needed for you to grow. The company pays in full for healthcare and they also give you a credit card to pay for your deductibles (so basically you don’t pay anything for doctors or prescriptions). A LOT OF DAYS OFF… The regular 15 days off plus holidays including the day after Thanksgiving, the day after Christmas, the day after New Year’s Eve and also an extra day off per year that you work there (3 more for me). On top of that, they give you 3 days off in the Summer, not counting when the owner let the company go home early for no reason or even better, take the whole company to the movies, bowling or cirque du soleil all paid… yup, all paid. Talking about money, I have been getting compensation increases on my yearly reviews, I already got a promotion as well. (Every paycheck on time, not even a day late…Love it!

Cons

They're very strict with the time that you get to work (9:01 is consider late). At the beginning I had some trouble getting used to it, but now I'm ok with it. You cannot use your cellphone here, but they give you a lan line that you can use without any questions asked. Don't have much to say here since I'm happy at this place.

Thank you for your feedback. Being on time is considered an aspect of professionalism, whether on-time delivery of assets, arriving at a meeting at the designated time, or arriving at work at the time expected. We are glad that you adjusted to that aspect. And while cell phone use was restricted previously, as you pointed out, landlines were always available so that employees could speak with their loved ones and stay connected. You'll be happy to hear that policies evolve over time and the cell phone policy was one of those. thanks again for taking the time to share.
