There are no benefits, and there are no incentives to motivate you at all.  They only care about their bottom line and how much money they can make.  The owner is a SNAKE to say the least and I would never work for them ever again.  At one time they were the #1 company to work for but they became cheap over the years and did not offer the employee nothing as they still do today.
The government gave them money to add on a day care many years ago to service the employees so that they would not have to take time off when they needed to.  Instead the day care was used by people in the area.  The workers could not afford to pay for the day care due to the high cost!
Benefits did not exist there at the time when I worked there.  The management is too cheap to give the employees anything other than what you work for.
Companies are not the same as they were many, many years ago, where they cared about the employees and not the other way around!  They moved their operations overseas and that is where it will stay!

I work 8-430 Mon to Thurs, those are fantastic hours for customer service

Never ever have I worked for a company that actually wants to make their customers happy.

95% of the customers are happy in their phone calls or emails, and the 5% that aren't we can usually resolve their issue pretty darn quickly and if that means 1% of them aren't happy then you gotta remember that you can't make everyone happy.

My boss is a pretty young-ish guy, late 30's and is super easy approachable about any issues, weather it be needed time off, or not sure how to deal with a customers issue.  

My main co-worker in customer service is really nice and easy to work with, we have lots of laughs together!

I've worked in customer service for over 15 years and this is BY far the best place I've ever worked.

I just finished my probation time and got my benefits and a free item to boot!

I was treated fairly well; however I was quite disturbed by the treatment of most of the workers. Most workers were recent immigrants, for whom English was a second language. They were often expected to work very long hours without breaks. It was hard to watch this treatment. I learned to stand up and speak for those employees who could not speak for themselves.
My job was receiving and shipping merchandise; packing merchandise.
I stayed at this job for as long as I could, but found it very stressful and eventually made the decision to seek new employment.

Executives and managers overwork and push employees to their limits. No training, they throw you in the fire and leave you burning. Inadequate staffing in most departments.  No company structure. Poor communication from managers. They don’t offer raises, even if you’re promoted. They think by providing monthly lunches and activities they are doing good to employees. Company went downhill since new ceo hired. No longer Canadian run family business. Even though head office is in Winnipeg, company is now run out of New York. 

On a typical day at work, I was always allowed to park my bicycle within the WGW office.  Staff would occasionally greet me and had never made me feel uncomfortable or unwanted.

Staff were incredibly accepting of my passion to teach fitness classes and were motivated to put in their hardest work, creating an overall positive and welcoming atmosphere.

Employees who have worked here for many years treat the newer employees with disrespect. Too much office politics going on.  Low employee morale.  HR department does not provide much support.  Worked here for a few years and the owner has never spoken to me, while he was sitting in an office only a few feet away from my desk.  Underpaid and overworked.  No benefits provided.  Felt very drained working for this company.

good working attitude among workers.  enjoyed contributing to production and i liked the products they produced.  i enjoyed supervising the workers and there was a feeling of  contributing my part in having production meet the demand for the product.

Collection Specialist (Former Employee) Salary is very low considering the amount of work given. Even proved i was a stellar employee by blowing all their charts away in collecting. My bonus was taken away along with my raise. Very bad Management in collections. NO JOB SECURITY at all.

Been with company long time. Owners were great but have given most of the control to the executives. There have been continual cuts and increased workloads. Multiple Managers have recently left. The culture is if you work hard you will not advance but take on more work, and not get compensated. 

- Lots of company activities to get to know other employees 
- management easy to approach 
- Work space is nice 
- Lots of great people to work with
- HR will always make time for you when needed 
- recently added in an employee recognition program to help showcase employees hard work
