The Lowdown. - Senior Manager bei WCG: Mitarbeiterbewertung

What pulled me back to WCG was Jim Weiss, the founder and CEO of W2O Group (WCG, a W20 Group company) whom over the last 14 years has developed a culture based on the same core values that I live by everyday, professionally. Jim is authentic. His approach is transparent. The result is an award-winning set of companies with jaw-dropping talent, who make an impact in the healthcare, technology and consumer global brands’ industries everyday. As Jim says, “ultimately, we are in the business to partner with our clients to enhance their businesses.” I’d even take that a step further and say that we don’t just enhance businesses, we enhance lives -- the result is growth -- personal and professional, inside and out. I’m happy to get to work with such amazing people so that we can enhance our clients’ businesses, enhance their lives, our lives, our world.

Because I have children, I have to drive and parking is a challenge/costly. The benefits do offset this one con. If you're coming from the city or the South Bay, there's plenty of transportation options.

There were 3 reasons why I came to WCG and why I've remained here for half a decade: 1. Independence Has Its Perks: I knew that I wanted to be part of an independent agency that had the agility to hire ahead of the curve and make investments in technologies and people that could give the business a competitive advantage. 2. Work with Brilliant, Strategic People: I was blown away in my interview by all of the strategic and experienced folks I was meeting with – I thought that I could learn something from my future colleagues. Five years later and I'm still learning from them every day. 3. Career Trajectory Driven by the Employee: It became clear to me in the interview process that this was a very entrepreneurial environment and your career would be whatever you desired at WCG - I couldn't imagine where I am today and look forward to where I'll be 5 years from now. Other pros are: great access to the CEO, ability to get introduced to/work in other communication specialties and help introduce the future of the communications industry.

If change, accountability, ambiguity or a fast-paced working environment frighten you, then this isn't your place. I want colleagues who want to take an opportunity by the horns, own it and get results.
