Worldstrides Environment Employee Reviews

All
Positive
Constructive

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Having flexibility to work at home has made a huge difference, I enjoy my days in the office as well.

The only positive is the people. Honestly, there isn't much else. I don't say that to be dramatic, but the management and company culture is so horrid that all you can do it hope to survive with the help of your equally beaten down co-workers.

Positivity comes from your direct coworkers, management is negative and see employees as 'money grubbing whiners'. The CEO has told the entire company, when people asked for appropriate pay, that we "want money thrown at us" and he can "fire 100 people" for more money to make people feel badly.

My company is against sexual harassment and they are always worried about this stuff, also they enables us to avoid this and don't shut up

Review from Operations Dept

They encourage people to work along and contribute with ideas. We have a lot of team building activities and you get to meet lots of people from around the world.

Review from Operations Dept

Really moving toward and even more open culture of transparency and inclusion

Review from Operations Dept

The focus on the mission and what we do making a difference in the world.

Review from Operations Dept

The environment is very casual - we work very hard towards accomplishing our mission yet we also enjoy the downtime (company picnic, holiday party, flex schedule in the summer, spirit team events, etc.)

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

We need a change at the top.

Review from Operations Dept

Get rid of Bob and the goofy HR team. Stop sending us "Spirit Week" emails telling us to share our goofy pet pics and changing the font colors in emails to show us that we're a "FUN" company. Telling us "FUN IS MANDATORY" does not make something fun.

A new CEO would do a lot to improve morale.

Review from Operations Dept

Start from scratch might be an idea.

That’s too broad a question for this organizatio
