Pros

Good work experience to learn how to deal with difficult people. A great starter job while looking for gainful employment.

Cons

Text book definition of a toxic corporate culture. Nepotism is the best way to get promoted. It's a large company that operates as a mom and pop company. Benefits are poor at best. Management has little or no experience in managing people and tends to pick favorites. Turnover rate is astronomical, which tends to leave no one at the bottom. If you happen to be unlucky enough to be the last one standing, look out. No one likes to take responsibility for their own actions. It tends to be your fault if you're not in the click. My advice to anyone looking to take a job here is to steer far clear. A complete lack of social responsibility.

Pros

Wasserstrom has a strong core of long‑tenured associates, which speaks to both the stability of the company and the quality of the work environment. The average associate tenure is over a decade, and with more than 123 years in business, there is a deep sense of history, craftsmanship, and commitment across the organization. Many associates have built long careers here, contributing deep knowledge and a genuine willingness to mentor, collaborate, and support one another. One of the company’s unique strengths is the close connection between the corporate office and the shop floor. Having these teams physically and operationally connected creates strong alignment, real‑time collaboration, and a shared sense of ownership in the work being done. While the company values its traditions, it is also forward‑thinking and continues to invest in innovation, process improvements, and new ways of doing business. Turnover is low, associates take pride in what they build, and it shows in both the quality of the work and the overall culture. Leadership is approachable, teamwork is encouraged, and there is a clear emphasis on safety, consistency, and continuous improvement. Associates are given opportunities to learn, grow, and build lasting careers while contributing to a company that continues to evolve and innovate.

Cons

Because the company has many long‑serving associates and established processes, the environment may feel more structured or traditional for those who prefer constant change.
