Pros

Enjoy the team I work with and WT is a great place to learn. Free healthcare.

Cons

- Pay is extremely low compared to competitors. Upper management wonders why there’s a lot of turnover, I have a simple solution they don’t seem to understand. Even I/others I know don’t want to stay long because of the salary. I know several people who got promoted and there was no raise associated with it. Now why would anyone want to stay here? I was personally told it’s not about the money and how great the company is. But who makes the company great? The people who work here. - Promotion is slow and without compensation - Long Hours without compensation. Working 8hrs shouldn’t been seen as “not enough” and career hindering. Work is not the most important things in our lives. Most of us want to spend time with friends and family and not at work. Or just take time to take care of ourselves. - Upper management is just out of touch. - Have to be willing to travel if you really want your career to grow/make more money

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
