Great Colleagues but Stressful

Pros

Great colleagues. We were a team and happy to help each other out. As with any company, management varied, but for the most part, many of the people managers were good. Benefits and pay were very good.

Cons

Incredibly stressful, always on culture. Often received multiple emails in the middle of the night from staff working until the early morning hours, calls in the evening, etc. Increasingly high, sometimes unrealistic, expectations/goals. Senior management tended to promote the same group of people over and over again.

As a premier AEG firm our employees strive for excellence, although we do not promote, nor do we require that employees send or respond to emails during late night or early morning hours. Woolpert promotes a culture which encourages balancing both work and play. As a result, we are working together as a team to achieve our mission to become the premier architecture, engineering and geospatial (AEG) firm in the country.

Pros

Good work/life balance.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement extremely limited in South Carolina; they hire too many EITs which creates a bottleneck for advancement. Their only requirement for managers seems to be an engineering degree, and engineers almost never make the best managers. Their "Great Place to Work" certification was obtained through coercion. Compensation is well below industry standards in South Carolina. Management doesn't care about you and Human Resources is a joke; they have no idea how to handle employee conflict.

We value and take candid feedback from our employees very seriously, and would not attempt to influence Great Place to Work Survey results. With that being said, the Great Place to Work organization establishes several layers of safeguards that prevent any company from influencing the Great Place to Work Survey. We progress as a firm by listening to our people. In line with promoting and fostering a continuous learning environment, we have developed a new series of training sessions for new and current managers to ensure that they are better equipped for their leadership role. As part of the leadership training curriculum, we are addressing conflict resolution, which HR supports with our experienced professionals, and documented policies and procedures.
