Pros
The team, everyone thats been hired here is fantastic. They have created a very good culture among themselves that has led to socialising both in and out of work
Kontras
The big question I've asked myself since leaving the business is, if I could turn back time, would I have accepted the job offer and the simple answer is no. The set up is very strange, the two co founders are very hands on which can feel like a perk but in all honesty is the complete opposite. Micromanaging is used as a sense of control with morning and evening check-ins taking place everyday of the week and all staff must be in the office 3 days a week (although the owner's favourites seems to be excluded from this). The business itself has done very little growth due to a poor product. Now this might be a strange thing to say due to the huge brands WMC has worked with. The issue is they churn, and this happens far more than is let on. When this does happen fingers are pointed rather than the founders (who run these departments) sitting down and actually trying to work out what's gone wrong. The company also prides itself on people never leaving the business but this is simply not true. They fire people left right and centre (I was not one) and those that do leave on their own accord will find that the business do all they can do not pay them what is due (Sales staff check you contract for a clause that allows them not to pay commission once a notice is handed in). My review is not to slam the company down, more to pass on the information I wish I'd had when my offer first came through. That way you have all the facts before deciding if this company matches the ambition you have to grow in your career. For me these ambitions couldn't have been any further apart.
