Pros

Working for the company has a large number of pros: - Unmatched Healthcare Benefits - Unlimited Growth Potential - Positive Company Culture - Great Retirement Plan (Pension, Stock Appreciation Rights, and Good 401k funds) - Vehicle Allowances - Company Gas Cards - Stimulating Work These are just a few benefits. Overall, my experience has been excellent however that is in large part due to the leadership of my boss. He is someone who cares greatly about his teams and the people he is tasked with leading, not just in the sense that he wants them to do a good job (which he does) but also he cares about their personal development and success in their personal life. That is Rare. The company obviously offers numerous wonderful benefits to their employees, one of the best is the health insurance which we use frequently and has taken great care of my family. We paid $0.00 to have our first child and all doctors visits have been a $25 copay, period.

Cons

While the company's benefits and long term financial prospects are amazing, it suffers from high turnover due to the fact that other competitors offer more short term compensation to those who are 1-8 years along. This is partly because WT prides itself on being a career oriented company so it builds its incentives that way however it is hard to keep people around for the long run when competitors keep pulling them out from under you right after you train them to be useful and valuable.

Pros

Had an opportunity to experience and see many aspects of pre-construction process and the development of ongoing projects. Was treated with respect, they were very understanding that I was just an intern regarding the knowledge I was expected to have. Was corrected when I made a mistake in a way that made me feel like I could get it right next time.

Cons

Early morning, some long days. Just the nature of construction.

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
