Business Outlook
Pros
WT does not have divisions (i.e.: precon, business development, accounting, closeout,etc.) so a Whiting-Turner PM runs the whole show. If you like that control and have a entrepreneurial spirit you'll thrive. You'll learn a lot and become an extremely well-rounded manager if you can work within the demanding environment.
Cons
It's sink or swim. The work load can be atrocious at times because you're responsible for all aspects of the project. Try forecasting as you are submitting owner/subs payments, fighting change orders and bidding new work. You'll alway have a bit more than you can handle, so learning to prioritize is a crucial skill.
