Pros

Great Benefits (401k offerings, Health/Dental/Vision, Pd. Emp. Life Ins., Long/ Short Term disability, etc.) Forward Thinking and Innovative Employees are given the equipment necessary efficiently of their skills Employees are provided training and encouraged to seek training Each Office has it's own personality and is very much family Very Focused on GPTW rating which has increased company-wide initiatives and benefits (including wellness compensation, great rates on pet ins. etc.) Family culture in regional offices.

Cons

There is a disconnect between Management and Technical Staff (includes top tier management). Very Focused on GPTW rating on the surface but has lost sight of what made it a GPTW.

Thank you for the thought and feedback you put into this review. For some clarification and transparency on our freedom to work policy, we designed this benefit to meet employee needs for flexibility (especially in response to Covid-19 when some were caring for children and family members.) Our aim is always to ensure that people have the tools and freedom to work when and where they want while remaining focused on goals. We trust our employees and managers to make the right decisions to get the job done. However, we appreciate hearing valuable feedback like this so we can continue to ensure our policies serve their intended purpose and empower employees. We will continue to grow and aim high just as we have for the past century, but we will also continue to focus on what makes us great: our employees.

At Woolpert we encourage employees to be themselves and use their creativity to support our progressive culture. From time to time, there are differences in opinion between employees and their managers; however, we address these concerns by promoting collaboration and a supportive management style.

Pros

Woolpert has an amazing culture and really puts forth the best effort to improve each year on policy, processes, and procedures. The organization as a whole is amazing and they value feedback. The work-life balance is amazing the company as a whole supportive. Also Scott the CEO is amazing along with the executive leadership team.

Cons

The 360 evaluation feedback form is "lackluster " at best, and needs considerable improvement. Its more of a 180 feedback and doesn't take into consideration the whole picture of an individuals performance. This is especially true when supporting people across multiple departments. The below, meets, and exceeds expectation rating on the 360 feedback from permits inconsistent feedback amongst employees and promotes an atmosphere of turnover. I've seen really good people leave based on "inconsistent" feedback from the 360 evaluation forms when supporting people across multiple departments. It's almost like failing a test in school for making an 85 on a test. You passed but you're still not good enough.

At Woolpert, we work hard to maintain a positive culture that supports continuous feedback. As stated above we put forth our best effort to improve each year on policy, process and procedures. We are open to improving our 360 process, and the recommendations for improvement above are appreciated.
