Fast-paced and Challenging (in a good way)

Pros

This is a very high-paced and growing environment. I came here because of the opportunity to create and grow and WFS has not failed to deliver that and more. The people are genuine, hardworking and have a collaborative spirit. I truly do enjoy coming to work everyday and feel I have grown more as a professional and person.

Cons

Because it is such a fast-paced environment you have to have a good self-starter spirit, if not you won't fit the culture here.

Pros

The free coffee, its Miami, its a paycheck, close to Starbucks, gym, there are some pretty nice and smart people - just not at the management level

Cons

Promotions are not merit based but rather depend on personal relationships with management. So if you want to move up you have to suck up Many middle managers whos responsibilities do not match up with their ability (due to first problem) Inability to incorporate strategic thinking to solving issues/challenges. A lot of times decisions are based on most senior person in room's opinion on what needs to be done rather than leveraging team's input or listening to those with the most experience. Thus many decisions are ego based Spaghetti infrastructure that is fragmented and inefficient just like senior management. Basic questions around market risk, PnL and PnL can not be answered or takes hours to pull together if at all Management has little knowledge or awareness of the embedded operational risk the firm is carrying given the inept leaders, bad processes and inability to properly leverage the systems they have over invested in They do not care about their employees and like to fire a lot of them right before bonuses are paid out to save a little money Women are constantly being hit on by senior management as are guys. Its a strange place to work in that respect. Managers promise promotion and when the time comes for annual reviews deny ever promising anything

Acquired companies beware

Pros

The benefits are amazing.

Cons

I'm disappointed when I read positive reviews because other than the benefits, this company does not care about a single employee. People that are undeserving receive promotions and raises just because of who they know or where he or she attended university. When you are an acquired company, they'll come in and act as if you are important or you matter, but they are talking about how unreasonable you are behind your back. It's the WFS way or the highway. If you are looking for agility, this isn't the place for you.
