We’re disappointed your time at WGI wasn’t what you anticipated. It’s our hope that you communicated your concerns while part of the team and that the fit simply wasn’t right for you and the firm. In regards to your comment on communication for advancement and to be a PM, it’s confusing when we have a yearly goal setting for every person at WGI, and then every 90 days there’s a check-in with your manager. A significant part of these frequent “touches” is for you and your manager to set goals and regularly communicate on progress. We typically do not hear your concern and apologize if our process didn’t work well for you. We wish you the best with your career and are always here if your thoughts change.

Pros

Structural building divisions allows opportunity to work on very wide range of project sizes and types. Large company footprint brings opportunities to work with other Engineers and companies throughout the Country.

Cons

Company is still in the growing stages as it expands from primarily a Florida based company to now nationwide company. The great local culture that the company has maintained over the past thirty years is going through changes as different regions are brought into the WGI culture. The growth has been good, but does mean there is a good deal of change year to year.

Yes, WGI is in a 50-year growing stage and in concert with our strategic and business plans, we intend to remain a high-growth firm. In our opinion, that maintains a healthy culture with great advancement opportunities for our associates. Of course, our number one core value is “Passion for People,” so we will continue to work hard at establishing and maintaining open, honest and meaningful communication at all levels. Posts like this provide just another opportunity to communicate to a wide audience. Thanks for a great review!

Thanks for your comments and what a great time to fact check. First, there really are no”higher ups”. We’re all WGI associates and that’s an important part of our culture that I hope you come to appreciate. Second, all WGI associates adhere to the same policies and the same benefits. For example, everyone has the exact same health care, life insurance, dental, 401(k), paid time off, long and short-term disability, and incentive compensation plan. Further, we all pay the same portion for those benefits that require a monetary contribution by the insured. That includes your CEO, President, CFO, etc. In reference to compensation, the entire company is continuously benchmarked against our peers and adjustments made throughout the year. Several of us, including your CEO, President, and others have their salaries reviewed annually (and sometimes adjusted but not always) by a separate outside compensation committee. So in reality, no one is enjoying “most of the benefits.” If you still feel otherwise, I’d love to speak with you to better appreciate your perspective.
