Pros

Ability to grow and be promoted within Fast paced Always learning I have always enjoyed the people I work with - not always the case, I think I am just lucky. The higher-ups are usually fairly nice and you are around them more than most companies. Taking steps to diversify the company. Made large steps in technology investments in the past few years - still slightly behind compared to other large GC's.

Cons

Working 10 hour days, late nights and weekends. Usually the project is always behind schedule, resulting in working more and stressful hours. They are working on bettering this, but lack of training. They have WT-101, but the classes are so full that sometimes you work there for a year before going. Many PM's are so busy they cannot train you properly then give you difficult tasks when you are not sure what you are even doing. You honestly never really know what you are doing. If you do not love construction this job will be incredibly stressful and draining. Most people working for the company are engineer majors and are not good at teaching. When you have issues you are supposed to go to your PM or VP which is uncomfortable. THIS IS NOT A REFLECTION ON WT, JUST CONSTRUCTION IN GENERAL: Being a woman in construction is more difficult, you are sexualized and ignored regularly. **I have never been treated differently for being a woman by ANY WT employees. I find the construction industry to be, overall, a very negative environment.

Pros

Benefits are great. People you are surrounded with are the best benefit.

Cons

Commute (comes with the industry). Demanding portions of the project will eat up your work/life balance if you let it.

Pros

The company has great leadership scattered between the different offices. The pay can be really good if you are a top performer, which just is through effort and giving your all to the job. It's a company that I was able to believe and follow the leadership and have lasting mentorships spanning a decade even after leaving. It is a company that I saw adapt and change over my time there. The changes were always an effort to make it better for the employee while maintaining a profitable business. I saw them listen to complaints and desires of employees and bring changes into action. It is a large company, so things take time, but I first hand saw changes. Also, if you talk about your long term life goals, have patience, are a good employee, they will help you reach your goals. Health care benefits are great too.

Cons

Construction can be a tiring industry. Long hours, tough days sometimes filled with emotions from trying to get the project moving forward. But my leadership was always understanding of this. They recognize and reward directly and indirectly the effort and work you put in. The golden handcuffs of the stocks is a downside. Living in expensive areas can be tough
