Whiting-Turner reviews

Tend to be a little 'behind the times' in the technology field. Some processes feel a little cumbersome due to the size of the company - the processes are necessary, but can be frustrating at times.

Annual compensation is well below the average. The company tries to leverage this with the fact that they have profit sharing, stock options and a pension plan. The profit sharing is not for part time employees, and full time employees cannot start receiving profit sharing until they have been with the company for over two years. Stock options are also not available until employees are 'vested' for two years. And once they finally received the stock options, employees cannot cash in the stock until after 15 years. All the employees refer to the stock options as the golden handcuffs. If you quit or are fired before the 15 year period, you give up all your rights to the stock. Overall the benefits are ALL long term. Very few short term benefits for younger employees. Whiting-Turner has been around for over 100 years and the benefit package probably has not changed since day one.
