      Business outlook

      Pros

      Nice building in a good area.

      Cons

      Poor management with no management skills in charge of accounting groups. Working long hours to get department on track rewarded by being let go without cause. Poor management dose not like people that can manage and once department is running smothly you are shown the door.

      WORST COMPANY EVER! Don't work here

      Business outlook

      Pros

      There are none. Here is what you should know. I will explain to you the trickle down effect here at Wedgewood. It really does fall downhill… THE EXECUTIVE TEAM There is a lack of leadership and vision for this company. The Wedgewood executive team likes to be treated as if they are celebrities. Be prepared to walk on eggshells if you work at Wedgewood. If you walk, look or say something not to their liking you will have a target on your head. Moreover, it is said that the executive team doesn’t care for titles- - then why is it that the company has such ELEVATED TITLES? The words “PRIVLEGE” and “1%” come to mind when I think of the executive team. Keep in mind that the majority of them are WHITE and MALE. THE MANAGEMENT TEAM The management is very weak. Many of the managers have little to no experience. Some of the worst individuals are managers at this company. How they are allowed to continue this bad and unprofessional behavior is shocking to say the least. LACK OF STRUCTURE/POLICY/PROCEDURE The company is too big to not have a solid structure. There are no solid policies and procedures in place. Additionally, if you attempt to create policies and procedures make sure you implement them efficiently and have leadership buy in to this and management follow it. DEPARTMENT ISSUES HIGHLIGHTS • Design - consists of “sorority” types. If you don’t fit that mold, then don’t expect a call back. • Finance - is a MESS – don’t work here if you expect a work/life balance, if you want to get paid well. The turnover is especially HIGH in this department due to the management. • Civic- Is this part of the company as successful as it is letting on? Wastes money like there is no tomorrow...and there might not be. • Warstation- Management shows FAVORITISM • HR/Legal- High turnover, lack of leadership and management, unfair hiring practices/nepotism, etc. • Maxim- The management consists of BULLIES • HMC- Greedy types OVERARCHING ISSUES: NEPOTISM: The nepotism in this company runs rampant. If you are related or know the executive team or management team expect to be automatically hired and on the “FAST TRACK” to running a department. It is completely unfair as most of these people DO NOT have any experience and are brought into the company over people with ACTUAL EXPERIENCE. Moreover, SPECIAL FAVORS are given to these people. The fact that this happens and at such a HIGH RATE is surprising. Don’t expect to be treated the same as these people. You are definitely a SECOND CLASS CITIZEN compared to them. EXPECT to FADE into the background at Wedgewood. TURNOVER The turnover at Wedgewood is extremely high. People come and go here so quickly. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why they leave if you have read my post. "PERKS" Most of the perks you have to wait 6 MONTHS to get. If you last that long before jumping ship they are SUBPAR compared to other companies The investment opportunities seem TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE—as the saying goes--THEN IT USUALLY IS. 5 DAYS VACATION YOUR FIRST YEAR- enough said unless of course you are high level then you get 10+.

      Cons

      Fake and planted reviews that outright lie. There are multiple and should be obvious to anyone.

      Accountant's Nightmare

      Accountant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The headquarters office is nice, and comes with free parking. Employees have investment opportunities with the company. In Accounting and Finance, the people are for the most part quite nice and hard working. During busy times, such as year end close and audit, the department provides lunch on Fridays. COVID-19 recommendations are followed, with limited in-office time and work from home recommended.

      Cons

      Once nicknamed the Pit of Despair, Wedgewood’s Accounting and Finance department has consistently maintained above a 20% turnover in each of the past few years. If that alone isn’t telling enough, read on. The culture: Intense. Accountants here are consistently berated by their managers in front of everybody in the office, without regard to dignity or professionalism. Micromanagement seems to be the preferred management style. Also, it gets uncomfortable to be around the sleazy atmosphere as those in charge openly flirt with their female subordinates every day like some poor man’s “Mad Men” agency. To be fair, the lecherous undercurrent in Accounting might be a symptom of a companywide issue; Wedgewood seems to have a sexual harassment problem and is notorious for objectifying women with annual “Women of Wedgewood” calendars featuring female employees posing suggestively. The work: Work-life balance tends to be pushed aside by surprise deadlines that require long hours and even weekend work on short notice. Management really appears to enjoy moving the goalposts with no explanation. Also, because of lack of direction from leadership, the business constantly pivots without warning, leaving accountants scrambling to do their jobs and make sense of the madness. The cherry on top is that all the accountants are also required to track and charge their hours at all times. For the amount of pressure and hours, you're better off working for a legitimate investment/real estate company and at least earning name recognition for your effort. The resources: Technology-wise - the "new" accounting software provided by the company is ancient and slow. If you are working in the ledger, you will be spending a lot of time doing data entry work regardless of level--time that could be better spent doing accounting analysis. Staffing-wise - with the department's inability and to retain staff, it's impossible to gain any efficiencies. The perks: This is a tough one to review because it’s impossible to know what your perks are at any given time. The company promises incoming talent nice perks, then quickly takes them away. While I do not consider a lack of perks to be a "Con", this bait and switch practice is a good indicator of how the company does business and treats employees. I advise newcomers to expect no perks at all to avoid disappointment. That way, any perks will be a pleasant surprise. Job Security: In addition to the high turnover, the company often lays off employees. Even before COVID, layoffs regularly occurred. Now, it seems as though a new bunch are laid off every week. There is no feeling of security with a job at Wedgewood. Reputation: A quick search online yields results about public perception of the company. It's not good. In the industry, this accounting department has a sweatshop reputation. Third party recruiters actually pass on placing candidates here due to the bad reputation. The company tries to sell its prestige as a selling point, so candidates should beware of this tactic and do the research.
