Pros

Management is nice. They over look mistakes and don't write warnings so they can fire you.

Cons

The staff can be harder to deal with than the clients. Staff needs to NOT constantly give orders to new employees. I can tell someone what to do and make it sound like a conversation rather than a direct order. After a while, people become numb to being told what to do all the time . Instead of giving a direct order, frame it into a question. Can you do such and such and state the reason why. Don't have the new staff always having to ask WHY all of the time or feeling intimidated to ask WHY because they are always being given orders from other staff members, too. This isn't the Military. Give them a break, offer the reason.

Thank you for your honest feedback! We do have management training new employees. Unfortunately, management is not on site at all times and in those cases experience employees are relied upon to orient new hires. We have been investing in team building and professionalism training's and hope that this will help. Everyone, old and new employees, are an important part of the team! The key word being TEAM!

Sorry to hear that you had such a negative experience at WSC. We try to be flexible and supportive but we are not perfect. Sounds like you and WSC were not a good match. WSC wishes you good luck with your future endeavors.
