Pros

Some employees are hardworking and a pleasure to work with

Cons

Management is so focused on making money that they don’t even see employees as people or care about how they are treated. There is a big focus on acquiring additional firms instead of supporting existing staff to drive up the number of employees. As a result, key staff in high ranking positions that have been with the firm for 10+ years are leaving in droves. Management keeps pushing the Great Place To Work survey without actually taking steps to make it a great place to work. Many people are overworked, underpaid, and have had promises made to them that are never acted on (i.e., raises, bonuses, benefits). Job responsibilities are also in frequent flux, with little to no notice to employees or additional compensation for exceeding agreed scope. You could be hired to do one thing and required to do something completely different from what you agreed to.

Pros

Employees are passionate about their work and their customers. Flexibility is really great, the ability to work remotely when so many other companies are forcing people back to the office is a big plus. People are genuinely nice and want to help each other which is not something you find at every company.

Cons

A lot of change, but that is to be expected with how much the company is growing.

Pros

Benefits are pretty good and work life are great

Cons

Adding more overhead and expecting the operations members to pay for increased low value positions. Many departments have tripled in size the last 2 years without any visible increase in positive impact. Many new senior managers don't have industry experience and make decisions that don't keep Woolpert competitive. Support functions have gone downhill in the last several years with new people being added. A lot of good talk by some without follow through.
