A typical day in the life at Wills Group is marked by its ever-evolving nature, providing employees with the opportunity to have a significant impact on processes and introduce fresh ideas. Cross-collaboration is a hallmark of our workplace, driven by the ongoing expansion of the business and a multitude of projects.

**Investing in Growth and Development

Wills Group places a substantial emphasis on growth and development at all organizational levels. We are currently in the process of introducing eCornell continued learning opportunities and have established GED completion programs for our retail employees, alongside tuition reimbursement, a comprehensive library of online training resources, and a rich array of instructor-led training and development options tailored to address the ever-evolving needs of our workforce.

**Supportive and Effective Management

In terms of management, my experience within my department has been overwhelmingly positive. Our managers exhibit a combination of flexibility, encouragement, and openness to novel concepts. They engage in frequent check-ins with employees, striking a balance that fosters collaboration without veering into micromanagement. These discussions encompass workload, project milestones, and individual development and goals, creating a supportive and constructive work environment.

**A Culture of Inclusivity and Community Engagement

The culture at Wills Group genuinely reflects a strong sense of camaraderie and a deep commitment to the well-being of our employees. They offer a generous suite of benefits that consistently competes with those of even the largest corporations. Moreover, Wills Group actively encourage community involvement, allocating paid days for volunteering. Our company arranges various activities for employees, ranging from family fun days to team-building exercises, community engagement, and donation drives. Furthermore, there are employee resource groups tailored to meet the unique needs of parents/caregivers, professional women, and soon, veterans. This reinforces our commitment to inclusivity and fostering a supportive community.

**Inspiring Colleagues and Impactful Employee Resource Groups

The most rewarding aspect of working at Wills Group is the privilege of collaborating with an inspiring and dedicated group of individuals. The passion and commitment of our colleagues shine through, underscoring the collective drive to make this organization a great place to work for everyone. Our employee resource groups have been a particularly valuable addition, giving a voice to their members while also contributing to the internal culture and policies. These groups are instrumental in creating a meaningful impact both within our workplace and in the broader community.

**Thriving Amidst Organizational Growth

The most challenging aspect of the job at Wills Group is the exciting phase of significant growth that the company is currently experiencing. While this phase is invigorating, it demands adaptability and the ability to stay agile. If you are someone who relishes being a part of such pivotal organizational phases but prefers the stability of a well-established company, Wills Group, with its legacy dating back to 1926, offers a compelling and rewarding environment for your career.

I've had the privilege of working for the Wills Group for a little over 2 years now, and I can confidently say it's one of the best work experiences I've had. From day one, I've been welcomed into a warm and inclusive team and work culture that values diversity, collaboration, and growth.

One of the standout aspects of this company is its comprehensive benefits package. Not only do the company offer competitive salaries, but the benefits extend far beyond that. From a generous retirement plan (401k) to ample vacation time and health insurance options, the company truly cares about the well-being of their employees. It's evident that they care about their employees and prioritize creating a healthy work-life balance.

There's also a genuine sense of camaraderie among colleagues, and teamwork is highly encouraged. Whether you're a new hire or a seasoned employee, everyone's contributions are valued and respected. The leadership team really does foster an atmosphere where ideas are welcomed, feedback is appreciated, and collaboration is celebrated.

I feel so lucky to have found a company that not only provides a fulfilling career but also cares about your well-being, fosters a positive work environment, and makes you feel recognized and appreciated!


I had a manager who was just ok. They had an ok attitude,  but was already jaded by the company. Everyone is overworked. Hard work is not rewarded or even acknowledged. There's no transparency between subordinates and management.  My actual job duties did not match up to my expectations during the interview process. The entire company is petty and catty. One mistake in this company means your demise. They have secret meetings about you,  the performance evaluation system is a JOKE and unprofessional.  If you are a great candidate with career goals and aspirations,  DO NOT WORK HERE, people like you wont make it. They look to hire the best of the best,  but don't do anything to keep those employees.  The CEO is very nice and personable,  but he's stuck in his ways.  This company still operates like it's 1990. HR has made some headway with updated processes and procedures,  but seems to fail when it comes to communication and roll outs. There's no culture,  no one is happy or excited tho work there.  There are good people there,  but you probably won't ever meet them.

The Wills Group is a learning organization. If you are looking to grow a career, look no further! While the company is locally based, family run company, there are a number of similarities to that of a large public company. The company truly cares for employees, customers, and the communities that it serves. The company offers a fantastic tuition reimbursement program, and 401K. If you are coming from DC or NOVA, the reverse commute is wonderful. The people that work for the company are full of passion and leadership. If you are someone who likes challenges, applying yourself, and hard work, this organization will be a match for you and your future career.

You need to be real go getter, to make in this organization. Everyone here is working toward a shared and common goal, you need to be prepared to work in a team environment to be successful in the organization. If you are looking to just push the time clock, this is not the place for you.

My employment at The Wills Group was one of the most dreadful job experiences I've had in my career. I received hardly a week's worth of training, the workload was beyond what the job description entailed, and my supervisor provided no assistance when I would approach her with questions/concerns. 

My supervisor was the main source of my discontent. She would assign additional projects to me [and others] with little direction, and would offer no assistance if you had questions. You're only option was to seek help from others [who were willing to help] or figure everything out on your own. 

Furthermore, Human Resources will always side with Management/Supervisors. HR is aware of the department issues and high turnover, but they refuse to make leadership changes. 

Overall, working at The Wills Group was a poor experience and I would discourage anyone from seeking employment there.

The company is in growth mode and evolving every day. There are lots of opportunities to improve how the work is done by being creative and innovative. I really like the family atmosphere, and the ability to be a part of a team that is making a difference. A typical day goes very quickly, and there is always more to do. The management is supportive, and we have recently been asked to create both personal and professional development goals. In the very near future we are moving to a brand new corporate office here in La Plata. By far the most enjoyable part of the job is the people you work with. We celebrate birthdays and special events which helps us to get to know each other better. While no company is perfect, I believe the leaders here are trying to make it a better place for everyone. And we are very active in community engagement which makes it feel like we're giving back to those in need.

The company is very well managed and is very involved in the local community. The people you work with are for the most part helpful and friendly, and the company will focus on your development and growth. Management cares about employees as it is a family owned company. Compensation is very fair, and they have an excellent 401k program to save for retirement - one of the best I have ever seen. The company is about to move to a modern new office which should make the working environment even better. And for those who live in the DC metro area, it's basically a reverse commute, so you're not in traffic with everyone else on the beltway. The company is in growth mode, and adding new Dash In stores around the area. All in all, it's a very good place to work.

while I enjoyed what I did, and personally felt a sense of accomplishment for our customers, it was not appreciated by management, and any suggested improvements or advancements to they systems were frowned upon coming from my level of employment.  Support from management is not evenly provided amongst a team.  A Lot is expected from each employee, within an 8 hour work day, with little or no recognition.  To advance in your career, you cannot have an outside life, and must be buddy buddy with the management team, if you can find your way in with the mostly male dominated group.

Our company growth has been tremendous over the past 20 years.  With the growth, there has been a lot of change.  With change, there is stress.  But the company is working hard on addressing this and truly cares for it's employees.  There is new leadership in place, in many parts of the company, and they are focused on employees more than ever.  The benefits and pay are very competitive.  The opportunity to work hard and show your skills are endless.  This has provided a lot of opportunity for advancement and recognition for a number of people in the company.

The company is expanding the corporate footprint of Dash In stores providing for significant opportunities for growth and development on the store leadership team. The rapid pace of new store openings in the last year doubled the number of new employees, creating 20 new store leadership roles. Anyone looking for a career in retail with exponential room for growth should look at Dash In. Additionally the company has a commitment to community service that impacts thousands of people through three states.
