Pros

There is a so-so work/life balance. The company hosts social events every few months like bowling or movies to try to boost morale. Salary is decent but insurance premiums are expensive.

Cons

There is a disappointing amount of trust put into the people who actually do the work. There are so many layers of leadership at the company who make it known they are more valuable than the people who make the company money. Big problem of people not feeling valued. And every few months there's an infestation of bedbugs in the Dayton building. Woolpert won't close the office and take care of the problem. Instead they replace a few chairs every time they are discovered and then are surprised when they are found again in a month. When workers inevitably get bedbugs at home the company won't cover the cost of treatment at that person's house. Gross! Not much vacation until you've been around for many years.

Pros

I have had the opprotunity to work with production staff across all departments in many locations. With very few exceptions the production staff drives the company, are leaders in their industry and are the best I've worked with. It is common knowledge that they generate some of the best products in the industry.

Cons

In the last 5 years the company has become more cut throat from the top down. Good people are leaving at all levels with short or no notice, causing a big hit to moral. While production staff is working together better than ever managers are becoming more distant and difficult to work with every day.

Pros

Used to have a great reputation in the area. Interesting projects.

Cons

Cycling in senior leaders with no knowledge of our business. First the CFO, now the CEO who has never run a project or owned a P&L. Just a fast-talking 'deal' guy who talks over everybody.
