What makes Weitz such a great place to work?
Weitz is a place where it is safe to make mistakes. Maybe an odd thing to say about an employer, but mistakes are a great way to learn. If people are afraid to do something wrong, creativity and innovation become stifled. A leader or manager who “has your back” creates space for learning. This has always been my experience with Weitz and it is one of the things I really appreciate about the company.
What is one thing everyone should know about The Weitz Company?
We are here to serve you! Weitz exists because clients need a service and we understand that the client defines what is valuable. I would not go to purchase a vehicle and drive away with a truck if I wanted a car – the truck would not be of value to me. No different than our clients, we are here to listen and understand your value, then execute a product to fulfill your need.
Something unique or interesting about me is …
I live in a home built in 1895. This summer, after 17 years in the house, I believe we will have renovated every room, the shell, garage and landscaping. At least round one!
