If you know how and like to kiss up to your boss, this could be the place for you.
Software Assurance Engineer (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – May 14, 2013
Pros: there are still a lot of talented employees working there who managed to survive the layoffs.
Cons: no job security for people who know how to work.
In the early 2000s, WMS was a very good company with an innovative product and potential for success. The people who worked there did a lot to make it great. A lot of talented Engineers, Artists and other professionals were hired. The company moved forward thanks to this dedicated team.
Unfortunately, some people in upper management and human resource – more... got hired in the mid-2000s (I don't know if I can mention exact names on this website) and destroyed that whole chemistry. They felt it was better for their company image to hire newly laid off employees from nearby reputable companies and they did not care about the employees who were already putting in a lot of time (in many cases, unpaid overtime) and effort to make their company a success. So they laid off a bunch of good people, never providing valid justification in many cases, and hired a lot of their cronies. They also took advantage of the economy and hired some new people desperate for work at lower wages in an attempt to maybe turn some of them into loyal cronies as well.
The company did enjoy some success afterwards, thanks to the infrastructure left by the already mentioned good employees that they decided to get rid of, but the company itself got so bad it had to get bought by another company in order to straighten things out. Consequently, a lot of people who left the company, voluntarily and involuntarily, do not have many positive things to say about it. Hopefully, the new company that took over WMS can straighten things out but that is something that remains to be seen. – less

beautiful work environment
Office Administrator (Former Employee), Reno, NV – March 19, 2013
Pros: convenient, pto is generous
Cons: lack of training for specific duties.
This company is one that strives to provide good benefits, which they do, but often there is a lack of communication and training for the positions you are required to perform.

Overall, the work environment is a nice one, and there is a feeling of being part of a team that wants to be the best in the field they are in.

Director Global Logistics and Indirect Procurement (Former Employee), Waukegan, IL – July 17, 2012
Pros: free drinks and great people
Cons: small company constant change
Typical day at work would consist many meetings and constant pressure to reduce cost. I have learned that life has many opportunities and so little time. The management was great once they had organizational change constant turn over. The hardest part of the job is getting people to change. The most enjoyable part of the job was the people.

Very Productive workplace
Quality Assurance Analyst (Former Employee), Waukegan, IL – June 7, 2012
A typical day at work started with checking e-mails, addressing them and starting your daily audits. Which meant reviewing games and if there we things that needed to be verified or changed to then locate the games and make the changes. I learned how to work under pressure and respond quick and effectively to time sensitive situations. The hardest part – more... of the job was sharing the printer. The most enjoyable part of the job was working on the manufacturing floor. – less
