Pros

Good Environment and if you get along with your VP then its easier to advance in the company.

Cons

They do not award the best performances the way they should. It seems to just be a slow progression in the companies sometimes.

Pros

Great company to work for if you intend to be a career employee with WT, as well as a great retirement package and health insurance. Offices are ran semi-independently of corporate, therefore your VP can really get to know you and compensate/promote you if you are a good employee. The company is employee owned so job completion and end of year bonuses are very good. Your salary, bonuses, Stock Appreciation Rights increase significantly with years of service. Upper management and new C.E.O. seem to be taking the company in the right direction and are addressing some pay discrepancies (as compared to other similar companies) by significantly increasing pay for people working out-of-town.

Cons

You really have to be looking at the long term when working for WT. If you intend to come work here for a couple of years and move on, it really is not worth your while since most perks don't kick-in until about the 5th year (that's when you get fully vested in the pension plan) and Stock Appreciation Rights don't mature until after 15 years of when they get awarded. If you are looking to make money, be ready to travel and put in some serious hours on the job site. Management seems to favor/promote people faster that travel out-of-town for jobs, so if you're not willing to spend the majority of your working career from job site to job site then this company (and this industry for that matter) is not for you. Company expects you to pay for out-of-pocket expenses for items such as travel, moving costs, job site materials, etc. (which can get into thousands of dollars relatively quickly) and then submit a voucher that takes weeks or months to get reimbursed.
