Things aren't always what they seem. - Anonymous employee WE Employee Review

- salary is awful and not industry standard - they add stuff to your role description and frame it as "growth and success" opportunities. But they just refuse to fill roles once people leave to save on paying someone a full salary. - only way to grow in the company is to be best friends with certain people in the organization. SOCIAL CAPITAL is what they push. So drink wine and party with your directors and you'll for sure get promoted or noticed for being a culture fit and team player!!!!! - adding way too many we Day shows but not compensating team members for the addition of it - people are overworked, stressed and miserable - young people in directors and associate directors positions who think they're high and mighty and use this to power trip. Zero professionalism. - micromanagement happens a lot due to poor leadership - they like to punish people by excluding them from participating at certain we Day events - executive team bad mouthing other teams and claiming they are the best team in the organization with the best culture - very gossipy and toxic environment, mostly due to young professionals in high titles with no management skills or professionalism. It's a high school here. You'll feel like you've never left. - expectations to be online post work hours and weekends - no such things as work from home days!!!!!!!!! This is dependent on your report. sadly my team doesn't have this option. - blackout periods are longer and less times to book vacation. - you can't book vacation and be away for longer than 2 weeks I believe. You can't combine your extra days off with vacation days if it's a longer duration of time. - they treat EXTERNALS better than their own staff. Showing everyone they care about social justice and all the important stuff but yet treat their employees like nothing. You are only operating because you have amazing talent here. - they overwork their employees to the ground - no standard vetting system for we Day talent. Hedley was a "flag" from the very beginning and never understand why they were an ambassador to the organization even with previous sexual allegations. Please do better and not try to pretend you care about timely and relevant issues all of a sudden. You're just trying to protect yourselves from getting bad PR. - partners who aren't necessarily aligned with our "brand" - you share hotel rooms when you travel with the we Day team... - your per diem a day is $45 (that's if they don't provide breakfast $10, lunch $15, and dinner $20). If they provide any one of these, you'll get <less than whatever you're supposed to. - expensing your expenses takes FOREVER - overspending on stupid things period. (print materials that eventually goes to waste due to new branding and killing trees; off-brand talent; donor engagement experiences; etc.) - overworking employees during we Day events. People work an average of 13-16 hours a day. Sometimes even more. You don't get compensated or paid overtime. They try to make it up and give you a day of time off to recover. But it doesn't make up that you're working 3-4 days 13 hours straight - management team needs management training!!! STOP promoting people who don't have skills. - overspending and in debt -making their employees "load out" after a long event day when they refuse to hire NASCO to help support all teams because they wanna stay within budget and it's cheaper and free to make staff do it since they don't pay for overtime and we're all on salary - teams are expected to go to the warehouse to pack or support teams for the season. No proper training. Lots of heavy lifting. - I don't think people are background checked when they participate during camp, a trip or at we Day - you are expected to stay during your entire work day 8-4. If you leave or come in a little later, it's frowned upon. - they like to book meetings outside of your work hours and you don't get that time back - stupid lame retreats that could be all put in an email - pointless meetings
