Pros

Free coffee, tea and hot cocoa and occasional dress down days

Cons

Everything. This company lies to you from the very beginning. As an analyst, one would think that they are going to be analyzing and sharing the outcome of their analysis with the company, and as part of a large team, the company would want to hear your thoughts and ideas. This is not the case. The title Business Operations Analyst only means that you will be doing data entry work and proof reading documents for errors. You must do this quickly and without errors. If you are not fast enough they will let you go. That's it in a nut shell. There is no analyzing involved. If you are looking to grow and become part of a team that values you and your ideas, this is not the place for you. If you want to sit at your desk all day, being judged based on your production and your production only, then this is the job for you. If you are looking for no room for growth, then this is the job for you. If you are satisfied with no recognition for a job well done, then this is the job for you. The managers will not share with you how they really feel about you. They are extremely phony and you will never really know if you are valued or not, whether you do a good job or not. But, if your production numbers are not within a certain parameter, they will get rid of you so fast it will make your head spin. This job is perfect for someone who has no life and wants to put in a lot of overtime. Oh, and you will not be paid for the overtime, because it is an exempt position. This in itself is questionable, because under L & I description of exempt, this position does not apply. So, the fact that they don't pay the Business Operations Analysts overtime, but expect it, and even mandate it, may be illegal. This company is very shady and has a high turnover rate.

Pros

One of the best things at WIRB is the opportunity for growth. There's so many different aspects of the company to learn about, and there's opportunities to learn all of them, and make more money doing it! Also, the flexibility has been a huge factor in me coming back to the company. The management and HR were not only understanding to my medical situation, but they bent over backwards to make sure that I could work, and take care of my family and health.

Cons

One thing that I can say that has room for improvement would be the way that training is handled. I think that there should be a better system in place to help people learn their jobs, whether it's the temps, or the full time employees. But that's about it.

Pros

There were not any benefits to working here.

Cons

This company abused the fact that I was young and eager for a salaried position. They basically expected all salaried people to work 24/7 and be available no matter what. The workload was ridiculous and the pressure unreal. I actually stopped working there because they drove me into disability. They told me that I could either take long term disability or be fired. It was totally unethical.
