High Turnover with No Wonder Why - Anonymous employee Whitehardt Employee Review

Thanks for the review and for the feedback. I’m sorry your experience at Whitehardt was not better. Please allow me to address your concerns as we have grown tremendously since your departure. By the numbers, 70% of our Directors at Whitehardt are brilliant, amazing, and powerful women. 80% of them started with an entry-level role just like yours. Respectfully, that’s not exploitation, that’s advancement. It’s okay for you to feel like this is good only as an intro job (I’m glad we could be that for you), but for many it can be a home for a successful lifetime career. Because we are a promote-from-within company, Whitehardt typically only posts entry-level positions for outside hires. Higher-level positions are nearly always filled from within because that philosophy maximizes the amount of growth for tenured employees. By nature, the entry-level positions are typically filled by energetic, eager, and talented persons (regardless of sex). The 5-to-10-year veterans you speak of elevated to their roles by starting out at entry level positions and found growth paths within! If you master your roles quickly or ever feel stagnant, my advice is to talk with your supervisor about taking on new duties or taking on training to keep growing! Opportunity is available and advancements come to those who stay motivated, stay engaged, and keep their drive high. We take our benefits seriously. Back during your time at Whitehardt we covered 100% of your healthcare, dental, vision, accidental, and disability insurance without a dime out of your pocket. We still do all of that, but since you left, it has gotten even better. We now offer 401k or Student Loan Assistance both with a Whitehardt match! We have added aggressive amounts of baseline vacation time and PTO to all with more available through our Flexible fringe benefits plan. We observe Juneteenth, MLK Day, and your Birthday all as official holidays! We offer both life insurance and pet insurance. We offer free virtual care for medical, nutritional, and mental health. We offer new dads and adoptive parents leave when a new family member comes. We help cover childcare costs through our Dependent Care FSA up to $5,000 per year. These changes and more were made in two phases, one in January 2022 and the rest in June 2022. We couldn’t be prouder of our offerings! We wish nothing but the best for you with your career.
