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 try to participate in RAGBRAI every year, which is the oldest, largest, and longest recreational bicycle touring event in the world. It’s an incredible experience riding across Iowa with thousands of fellow cyclists!
