Pros
Good benefits Some really great people to work with. Nice HQ facilities.
Cons
Where do you even start with this Barnum and Bailey operation? Lack of internal controls, leadership that is out of touch with the business, and upper management stuck in the 80's. This company should have never went public and that is evident in the fact that the CEO ditched this place before the stock price tanked. Welbilt did not have, nor does it have today, the leadership to move this company forward. When I interviewed at Welbilt, I was told by HR that they were working on improving the culture. Sadly, I saw it get worse and not better during my time there. I doubt this company has a future under the current leadership. This place needs cleaned out from the director level and up. During my time, I was told time after time of the problems that existed years ago and personnel that should have been shown the door years ago and they were still there. Nothing changed. Bureaucracy runs wild at Welbilt, which creates log jams and keeps projects from getting done. Simple projects do not get done because 15 people have to agree to them, even though they know nothing about the project. Finally, when times get tough the first thing they do is lay people off, but never do management positions get laid off. You have VP's reporting to VP's and layer after layer of management. In short, this place can't even put together a competent org. chart.
