Pros

Whiting-Turner will never fire you. No matter if you are the biggest dead weight on the team. They will carry you but it will be known that your presence is not welcomed. This is a large company and as long as your follow basic procedure there is a lot of flexibility as how YOU want to run a job or what YOU want to bid. There are a lot of great employees who will put you under their wing. You have the ability to run all aspects of the project from scheduling, financials, quality control, bidding, contract management to field management. They will, at the best of their ability, keep you local. Profit sharing is a nice company "bonus" but only available for valued employees.

Cons

Company experience is all based on your PM you are assigned to. Some are great guys others not so much. This will determine how well you advance within the company. They company will at times work you until your "burnt out". It is common to work 60 hour work weeks and there is no compensation - its expected. Bonuses are minimal. (see comment about profit sharing) You can be treated like a playing card - getting traded and passed onto groups like a pawn.

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
