Careers

The culture of Wiser begins with our people.  The key to fostering our family and private small company atmosphere is to be an employee friendly and family friendly company.  Wiser prides itself on providing a personal touch starting with the time a prospective employee submits their application to their first day of employment.  We are always looking for fresh and creative ways to keep our employees engaged and happy in their day to day work life.  Each of our sites is unique and we work together with our leadership teams at each site to make sure we provide company initiatives and engagement activities that cultivate a team environment at Wiser. 

Having various sites across the country, we like to keep everyone informed of the happenings at each location so we publish a company newsletter every two months to highlight company projects, employees, programs, and events.  We also include a calendar of events so employees can keep up to date with local community activities. 

We have various events at each site throughout the year.  The Middle Tennessee State University Wiser Tailgate has become an annual tradition in our Murfreesboro, TN office.  According to Patrick Gilliam, Production Site Manager, “…these events are non-traditional benefits that provide us opportunities to socialize with one another outside the office.  The MTSU Wiser tailgate shows us how much we’ve grown and that we are an important part of a good organization, which is in turn an important part of a growing community.”

Other examples of team building activities that Wiser holds throughout the year include our annual Chili Cook Off, Bring Your Dog to Work Day, Holiday Potlucks, Spring Fling, Company Cookouts, and Outings to attend Professional Sports Team events.

Equal employment opportunity is good business as well as being the law and applies to all areas of employment, including recruitment, selection, hiring, training, transfer, promotion, termination, compensation, and benefits.

As an equal opportunity employer, Wiser does not discriminate in its employment decisions on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, age, military status, disability, genetic information or on any other basis that would be in violation of any applicable federal, state, or local law. Furthermore, Wiser will make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result in an undue hardship, safety, and/or health risk.

As a government contractor, Wiser has adopted a written Affirmative Action Plan to ensure identification of qualified minorities, the disabled, Vietnam-era or disabled veterans, recently separated veterans, other protected veterans, and Armed Forces service medal veterans (all covered veterans under VEVRAA) and women at all levels and divisions of Wiser. Wiser is committed to making a good-faith effort toward achieving the objectives of the Plan.

Wiser partners with various agencies in order to attract a diverse candidate pool for our various openings. Some of the agencies that we partner with include the Middle Tennessee Career Center, Operation Stand Down, and local vocational departments.

We afford our employees opportunities throughout the year to be a part of giving back to their local community

Wiser partners with the United Way annually for our kickoff campaign each fall. Our employees enjoy the camaraderie of the events during the week long kick off as well as the opportunity to raise money and devote their time to those in need. Wiser was honored with a Silver Award for our 2010 United Way campaign. This award is given to companies with at least 50% participation and at least $50 per capita giving.

Wiser also participates in the annual United Way Day of Action to benefit other local area non-profit organizations. In 2010 our Murfreesboro office partnered with the local Boys and Girls Club. Lucian Cayce, Vice President, Security & Management Systems participated in the event and said, “This half day effort was challenging, fun and rewarding. I personally witnessed the smiles, laughter and enthusiasm of the kids supported by the Boys and Girls Club. It is obvious that giving these children this outlet is relevant and essential to their development into adulthood.”

One of the other great aspects of being a part of the Wiser team is the commitment to band together as an office for a greater cause. One of many great examples is our Birmingham office helping with tornado relief after the devastation in Alabama in April of 2011. The group traveled to Pleasant Grove, about 30 miles from Tuscaloosa, to help with clean up efforts. The whole office also donated supplies which were taken to Brookwood, AL, 12 miles from Tuscaloosa.

In March of 2010, our owner, Cy Wiser, wanted to start a company wellness program. We surveyed our employees to see what programs, initiatives, and incentives they wanted to see and then we had everyone submit possible names for the program. After picking the top choices, we allowed our employees to vote on the name they liked best and ‘Live Wiser’ was born.

Some of the Live Wiser initiatives include:

• Company paid biometric screenings
• Organized activities at each site such as softball, basketball, bowling, soccer, kickball, and sand volleyball
• Company-wide fitness competitions
• Subsidized gym memberships
• Nutrition workshops
• Live Wiser cookbook
