Pros

Look for Scott Cattran’s appearance on Fox News show, as they help him pick out a second vacation home. You will have a celebrity CEO! If you get offered the opportunity to buy stock, you’ve pretty much got a job for life; regardless of how incompetent you are.

Cons

The pros come at a cost to everyone else. Corruption, profits over people, and outsourcing led to severe staffing cuts in Englewood office. Fired people who spoke up about corruption.

We take any accusation of corruption seriously and thus will look into your concerns further. We remain confident and committed that Woolpert continues to operate under the highest ethical standards and seeks the best for all its employees and clients. Woolpert’s open door policy and channels for feedback via our insider threat policy, and employee engagement survey tools create opportunity for all employees to report concerns. Woolpert has enjoyed great success under our CEO. Under his leadership, Woolpert is one of the fastest growing companies in the AEC industry, and with that success we have provided our employees with consistent performance bonuses, doubled the number of owners in the firm with industry-leading shareholder returns, and expanded our benefits program. Consistent profitability has allowed us to do this, but never at the expense of our people – rather to the benefit of our people that in turn allow us to provide the very best services to our clients. We have been rated a great place to work (an anonymous survey) by our employees 6 years in a row and have industry leading Net Promoter Scores/ Customer satisfaction ratings.

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

Flexibility, sense of ownership in your work, some great people

Cons

The bonus was below industry standard and is formulated per how well the entire company does. This isn’t fair that some of the company that doesn’t do well affects everyone else, especially when we can’t hire enough people to do the work.
