Pros
I enjoy working at Wood Partners because of the culture. It is very collaborative where everyone has a voice and can impact change. There are always politics in companies, however this company really does not have politics in their culture. Upper management does not have egos and works closely with the all employees. Lastly, everyone is focused and we accomplish a lot, however we have a lot of fun and the energy is very upbeat and positive. The CEO, Joe Keough and Senior Director Steve Halsey are very nice and come off as caring more about people than profit. It makes us employees feel appreciated and apart of a family. They probably make a lot more profit because of this, but that is a positive unintended consequence of them being good people. That kindness trickles through the company culture. Very good place to work and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and challenging career where they get to be apart of a fun and supportive company.
Cons
There was one downside, however it seems that this has really changed this year. They develop a lot of apartment buildings and the buildings eventually sell. This could mean that they property operators may have to relocate from time-to-time, however they have been growing and adding more communities that are longer term and stable to allow better stability to the operations teams. This has really changed since the beginning of this year.
