WCG Reviews

So here is the low down, getting at the root of all the negative reviews. WCG is a place that builds its professional culture on people being strong individuals who take initiative and be their own advocate. Most people are given a lot of autonomy to forge their own relationships and build their own in-company business; and if you do this effectively, you are rocketed up and touted as a rockstar. Those are the ONLY people who are valued at this company. It is entrepreneurialism at its most extreme. Those who don't follow that mold are literally fodder for the entrepreneurs with huge personalities and even huger egos. It doesn't matter if you are awesome within your own niche. If you are not rallying the masses as a leader or generating business momentum, then you are just a tool to be used. This is where the cliques, favoritism and politics that everyone mentions come in as well. Since the interpersonal structure is centered around these select ego-centric entrepreneurs, everyone else is made to fall in line with their own 'leader.' And each group ends up sticking to their own...

Going back to the great salesmen part, we constantly pulled in new, large, sexy clients because leadership would promise them anything and everything. Then the project would begin and it wouldn't take long for the client to figure out that we couldn't deliver on those promises. This would put staff under tremendous pressure over something they didn't have any say in or control over. If you're not in the club and "one of the good ol' boys," then watch out. It was like the kids who got picked on in grade school were finally getting their revenge. Bullies. The things that I witnessed first-hand to pressure jr. staff into staying was appalling and wouldn't be tolerated anywhere else. I also witnessed first hand the lack of a moral compass among leadership, instructing staff to perform tactics that were dishonest and underhanded - anything to make sure they weren't revealed for the frauds they are. The egos on most of the leadership staff are astronomically large. It starts at the top and I don't know if they are so delusional that they actually believe their own hype, but it seems that way. And don't think that we all don't notice how the only awards and coverage they receive are from the Holmes Report.
