Pros

Most staff is friendly. Flexible with hours. Dress code is relaxed but professional. President is realistic and easy to speak with.

Cons

A lot of sexism in professional fields. Supervisors not on location do not have a realistic idea of what you work on. Definite favorites throughout the different markets. If you don't play well with others, you are treated like an outcast. Similar to high school 'it' crowds. Some unprofessional behaviors in some offices.

Woolpert has a zero-tolerance policy for any type of harassment or discrimination, including sexism. While this policy exists, Woolpert recognizes that policies alone can’t combat sexism in the workplace. Because of this, we strive to provide a culture in which employees are empowered to speak up regarding these and other issues, should they occur, so that swift and appropriate measures can be taken. With more than 20 offices across the nation, we stress the need for open lines of communication at a firmwide and team level. Woolpert provides employees with multiple communication resources, including phones, email, instant messaging and video conferencing systems, to ensure that supervisors and their employees can communicate easily despite differences in location. Leadership also makes deliberate efforts to train supervisors on remote management communication skills to help remedy this situation. We will continue to train remote management best practices.

Pros

Employees are passionate about their work and their customers. Flexibility is really great, the ability to work remotely when so many other companies are forcing people back to the office is a big plus. People are genuinely nice and want to help each other which is not something you find at every company.

Cons

A lot of change, but that is to be expected with how much the company is growing.

Pros

Flexibility, sense of ownership in your work, some great people

Cons

The bonus was below industry standard and is formulated per how well the entire company does. This isn’t fair that some of the company that doesn’t do well affects everyone else, especially when we can’t hire enough people to do the work.
