Pros

Stability, stability, stability, if you want a safe place to work and be pushed to be better without wondering if your job is on the line, WT is the place to be. Benefits are great, culture depends on each individual office but the vast majority of people are good.

Cons

Founded in 1909, and feels like its ran in 1909 sometimes, can be slow moving on things like raises and changes to any operations. No formal training for much of anything, all on the job. Minimal work life balance, "customer delight" leads to a lot of yes men putting the burden of working long hours and working weekends to the younger guys onsite. Pay quite frankly sucks compared to other GC's of this size, expect a double digit percentage pay difference for the benefits.

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
