Wolverine Worldwide Reviews

Company is proudly "computer illiterate," fears change Management won't invest in staff or technology No upward mobility, all positions are filled externally Two-year cycle of binging and purging on employees, mass layoffs hit older employees regularly to bring in cheaper, younger workers Leaders hold "millennials" in contempt and refuse to listen to them

The senior leadership team tries to correct systematic issues through downsizing and constant restructuring (specifically, shuffling around leadership) instead of addressing the problems top down. The organizational culture is very hierarchical with little shared corporate vision. There is a constant fear among employees they'll be restructured out / lost their jobs every winter. WWW reacts to wall street vs consumers. The bonus program for middle management and below is embarrassing. In the past couple of years, it seems like titles have become grossly inflated at the management level. Many managers were made directors and many directors were made VPs. Yet, specialists I, II and IIIs are stuck without career mapping/growth plans to make the jump to manager.
