Pros

Can't really think of one to be honest. I would say its just a gig that people take while something better comes along but even the cheques would be days late getting there. These guys couldn't even pay their bills on time. There wasn't any money, it was all going to Glen White's crappy Business Friend which has since tanked.

Cons

Where to begin?. Awful pay, awful commission structure, unrealistic targets, outdated business model, awful design of magazines, horribly written, low morale, over aggressive tactics and sales. Pushing collections...everything is like a boiler room environment, it really felt like I was selling penny stocks...this was probably a low point in my career as I was waiting foe something better but it was an embarrassment to go into the office everyday.

Pros

None at all. I mean if you consider a Pro the fact that they paid us, even though the cheques were always late than I guess thats a Pro

Cons

I worked there right when they closed the Toronto office. Our cheques were arriving late to the office a week sometimes a week and a half late causing a lot of frustration and inconvenience to the staff. The employees were not treated with any respect, we were treated like soldiers who had to work long hours and reach unrealistic and outdated call stats and numbers. Working for this company was an awful experience and any positive review that you read on here is one of the head office staff writing it because they were asked to by Glen White. There is so much bad press about WDM that they will actually tell the employees to purposely come on here and write a few positive ones about them, just like they used to have their staff make up fake social media profiles and "like" or "comment" on their posts on their websites. The company and its owner is out of touch with todays business. They simply stick to the same dull boring methodologies since they started. Salary was garbage and commissions were low. Once made them 40k in a month and received a 1000 bonus, after taxes, 700.00....big deal.
