Pros

The company is very fluid. Continuous improvement is always a top priority. There will always be new opportunities within the organization. Management appreciates employees taking initiative and providing ideas and feedback. Once you demonstrate your abilities, leadership is very willing to get creative to put you in the role you'd like. Several initiatives have been created to make it an enjoyable workplace such as providing opportunities for employees to share ideas, creating a committee to show associate appreciation, and rolling out a new incentive program. Strong efforts have also been made to break down silos, improve transparency, and build trust.

Cons

Although the company culture has improved in recent years, it still faces challenges of negativity amongst many associates. Some in the organization struggle to adopt change and operate in new ways. Many in the organization feel unsupported in their role - unmanageable workload, lack of training, lack of tools, too many barriers, etc. Hiring strategies are often criticized.

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.
