Pros
- Great place to learn the ropes of construction. - Whiting-Turner does many complex, high-visibility projects. - There are many employees at the company that have worked 20+ years for WT. - They have a solid reputation within the industry.
Cons
- long hours (typical of construction) - younger employees are treated as if they are completely disposable. The company will hire 20-30 PEs every year expecting half of them to leave within a few years. Weekends, late nights, etc will fall to the least experienced employees for months on end. - Company is very slow to change and adapt to new technologies. - Very old-school company. "My way or the highway" leadership style. - Long term benefits are provided but salary, PTO, and further learning opportunities are below industry standard.
