      High Turnover with No Wonder Why

      Pros

      Learned a lot very quickly. Great ramp-up structure/training program. Only good as an intro job, as you get to take on responsibility quickly.

      Cons

      Little room for long-term personal or career growth. I both learned and mastered everything I was going to get from this role within the first few months. Low compensation and benefits are pretty poor -- especially for the responsive, fast-paced environment they pride themselves on. It was impossible to get time off and your vacation weeks are decided for you (when the business is closed for two weeks for Christmas...that shouldn't count as your ONLY vacation time for the year). Look at their LinkedIn. Notice how employees have either been there for about a year, or for over a decade with very little balance in between. Notice, also, how the ones at the top are all middle-aged/older men, while those at the bottom are all young women fresh out of college. They're exploiting young, talented women that could be using their talent for so much more while being treated far better. Everyone I worked with seemed miserable and overly stressed out for the low-stakes work they were given. There is something obviously wrong with the way they lead and support their employees. The culture is toxic for a handful of reasons, and nearly half of the company quit in the past year. I would warn against working here, especially if you are looking for a company to grow with.

      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.

      Pros

      Working in the Media Department was the best job I could have asked for right out of college. I really like the training process they have in place. It’s efficient and allows you to gain responsibility at the company fairly quickly. You will be working on your first day. You won't be sitting around waiting for something to do. The Media Director is not a micro manager. You get trained and then you get to manage your own tasks and time. With that being said, the team will always have your back when you need help. This department also has a great work/life balance. I was never asked to work outside of business hours. I also like the fact that this department is extremely adaptable to change. We were constantly evolving and making processes more efficient. You have the power to suggest change as well. I made life long friends in this department and it was one of the hardest goodbyes I had to make. This is definitely a position where I felt like I was important, and it gave me confidence in my professional life. I learned how to negotiate and how to actually use excel. This team also knows how to have fun. Expect some birthday lunch margaritas and Friday afternoon beers. Some general perks of Whitehardt: - They pay 100% of your healthcare (for real) and it is good healthcare. - You get a raise and a bonus every year.

      Cons

      Communication with other departments can be difficult.

      Pros

      The culture is not heavily corporate. There's no micromanaging. You will be treated like an adult. It's a very close knit company, so colleagues will likely become your friends. If you're a young person, you will learn a lot very quickly.

      Cons

      This is a fast paced work environment and the ability to manage your own time is essential. If you require a lot of guidance, this is not the place for you.
