Wonolo Reviews

It's a tough industry, with a lot of legal guidelines to navigate as we bend the borders of traditional staffing. We need to figure out where we're gong to add the most value and have the best chance of succeeding and focusing on that like a laser. We also need to acknowledge that when you are dealing with thousands of people as your "product" on a daily basis, issues are going to arise, ands every problem can't be fixed with smarter analytics and systems. I believe we need to be honest with ourselves about some of the challenges we're facing.

Sadly, there are more cons and pros. Leadership has no real strategy to success. They often come to company all-hands meetings with OKRs and KPIs that still need to be filled out. The company has gone through two RIFs and likes to cut a large number of ICs while leadership keeps their (very) well paid jobs. There is absolutely no accountability on leadership. Unqualified workers get put into management positions since they've been with the company for a long time, even though they have no idea what they are doing or how to lead/manage. This helps lead to the poor culture and poor management running the company, overall. Management does not like to be disagreed with. They promote healthy and respectful push back, but don't truly want that. Those that have pushed back have been let go, always. During the two RIFs, those who were cut often wished they had been so they could leave the disaster that is Wonolo and receive a healthy severance package. Lastly, there is no growth. No growth plan laid out and the only ones who are getting promoted to higher positions are managers and directors - to Sr. managers and directors. Wonolo was a different company 2-3 years ago but has sadly taken a steep dive downhill.
