Pros

Whiting-Turner is as good as it gets, if you want to be in the top of your field as a construction project manager. Equivalent to Google or SpaceX in other fields. The growth you will experience here is transformative in an unparalleled way. The environment you are placed in is very supportive and hard to walk away from at the end of the day. You will be given all the tools you need to succeed here. You can count on job security for your entire career.

Cons

If you have or are ever thinking of having a family, then you need to rethink your plans. There is no room for anyone else but your project team in your life. Get ready to work a lot of nights and weekends. Leave your family, it'll be easier than all the arguments over having to work late or come in on weekends, or blow off plans because WT calls. I'm not exaggerating, please take heed if you're thinking of working here. If you are willing to leave family by the wayside, then there's no reason why you can't be an Executive VP or more one day and quickly.

Pros

Benefits are great. People you are surrounded with are the best benefit.

Cons

Commute (comes with the industry). Demanding portions of the project will eat up your work/life balance if you let it.

Pros

The company has great leadership scattered between the different offices. The pay can be really good if you are a top performer, which just is through effort and giving your all to the job. It's a company that I was able to believe and follow the leadership and have lasting mentorships spanning a decade even after leaving. It is a company that I saw adapt and change over my time there. The changes were always an effort to make it better for the employee while maintaining a profitable business. I saw them listen to complaints and desires of employees and bring changes into action. It is a large company, so things take time, but I first hand saw changes. Also, if you talk about your long term life goals, have patience, are a good employee, they will help you reach your goals. Health care benefits are great too.

Cons

Construction can be a tiring industry. Long hours, tough days sometimes filled with emotions from trying to get the project moving forward. But my leadership was always understanding of this. They recognize and reward directly and indirectly the effort and work you put in. The golden handcuffs of the stocks is a downside. Living in expensive areas can be tough
