My favorite part here is the people. I have never worked for a more diverse company. It is a truly global company and we have people working from all different parts of the world - different ethnicities, cultures, backgrounds, languages, races. This makes it for an awesome and interesting working environment.
The business is growing so it is an exciting time to be here. The company is also putting in a lot of effort in improving employee engagement. We have a committee that started meeting and implementing some cool ideas.
I really like our office space in Miramar, we have a beautiful brand new gym, the newly renovated employee lounge is on the lake with outdoor seating, plenty of parking, fun events. Our coworkers even make delicious "cafecito" and pass it around the office daily.
My manager is great too! We work hard and it is busy, but we have fun with it! The benefits include a full package of medical, dental, vision, disability, life, pet insurance, hospital and many other perks. 401k company match is great - 50 cents to a dollar! I even got a corporate discount on my kids preschool!


I have been with WAI for 29 years and have seen many changes. Many growths and exciting new initiatives. The people are great, very family oriented and friendly. I work with a great team, everyone is willing to help. Company offers a good benefits package that includes pet insurance! I am animal lover so it is important to me. I have had a great career here and am excited for what's to come. The CEO is very nice and easy to work with, he sincerely cares about this company and the people. The business keeps growing and the company has been around for over 40 years, so there is stability. There is also great flexibility if you need certain hours or time off - I really appreciate that. I love the gym at the office too, I use it all the time.

Start of the day prep pallets for pickers to pull product . Morning meetings to talk about that days shipment . Pass out assignment for the picker which i also help in when time got hard and they needs extra help . The management was fair . My coworkers were a tight net group that worked well together teach eachother the skills that the others lack . The hardest part was rush hours between 3 and 5 p.m. trying to git the last minute freight out . The last drop from the Que was at 2 p.m. The most enjoyable part was that we shipped all the freight with no S.O.D WITH A 99.70% without any S.O.D

Meeting with Management co-worker and staff to prep for todays sucess.Reading emails /researching infomation as needed.

Makeing sure all are in compliance with job processes ,policy and procedures.Teaching and shareing what i have lean to about the importance of the business.

Communicating daily so we are all sucessful regarding company needs and request.

Time management completeing jobs on time daily.

Once jobs are completed correctly by the team at hand.

I have not had any problems with management after working there about 4 and half years but I see what goes on at this company name WAI and I am  not just telling you all, I  am warning everyone in America STAY AWAY!

Family run, nepotism, raises 1% or 2% but not every year, no loyalty, management elititist behavior, they let good workers go and bring in friends who are clueless. Average workers treated like they are of no value.

Fun place too work at people and manangment nice 
But overall a good place to work 
But for me I'm looking something better and challenging  need more money they don't give us good raises a whole u year a get a 10cents raises they don't show the employees the love we need like as doing a good job on the week they just want the work done so I am looking for some thing better with better pay

Diverse culture, unbalanced work load, high turn over from different positions/levels.

Employees are not happy and majority of them have less than two years in the company, a lot of manual work.

Good benefits, but insurance is too expensive and no good coverage. PTO has a lot of restrictions, 15 PTO days not allowed to take all days at once.

Management doesn't care about to improve. They focus just in finishing the work.

worked at a home based office for 9 years. dealt with customers as far as orders quality concerns, shipping errors from remote locations, very supportive with co-workers. Hardest part of the job was being at a remote location and trying to get support to offer quality customer service. Best part of the job was the relationships I made with my customer base

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with great co workers was the only thing good about working there

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management were more like elementary teachers 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not my cup of tea turnover was very high

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful from beginning to end
