What Our Employees Have to Say
Wurzel Builders is a great company to work for! Our Team is at a size where we are open to sharing our input and it’s appreciated. I have worked with different companies, and have never felt like an important part of the company plan for growth as I do with Wurzel Builders. Our team is diverse and experienced, meaning that there is always a Team Member that is available and willing to listen and help solve issues that may arise.
Our management and the President of the company will always take time to listen to concerns and help in finding solutions.
Our Team is always looking for ways to advance and build the company but will not trade our integrity or quality to speed up including keeping the team updated with company training and Teambuilding events. We do not take shortcuts!
It has been a wonderful experience working with Wurzel so far. Chance to learn a lot of new things in a very short period, great team, good exposure, challenging and friendly environment.
