401(k) Plan
At the start of each quarter, employees are eligible to join our 401(k) Plan and contribute 1-100% of their compensation. Each year WHR matches contributions with a substantial discretionary sum for employees with the firm as of December 31st. This allows participating employees to share in the firm’s success.

Employee Referral Bonus Program
Employees are paid a bonus for referring applicants who are then hired by the company. The bonus is paid after an employee completes three months at WHR.

Professional Development
WHR encourages employees to continue developing skills throughout their careers. The company reimburses registration fees and costs of successfully completed architectural, interior design and LEED exams and provides paid time-off for the exams. We also offer in-house study materials and study groups to help employees prepare. At WHR learning doesn’t stop at licensure. We sponsor a multitude of CEU learning opportunities in our offices, which are available to all.
