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

Company is financially secure, so little chance of lay offs. Very high diversity of skills are taught, giving you a well rounded set job/career skills. Overall, good company culture and sense of excellence.

Cons

If you are looking for a 9-5 job, look somewhere else. There is a reason this company is so financially sound....its people do the work of 2 or sometimes 3 people. Nearly every project I was on I was the accountant, receptionist, estimator, scheduler, coordinator, safety officer, quality control officer, photographer...the list goes on. They will throw you to the wolves, so you must be extremely efficient. Dont be afraid to speak your mind, and express concern about team make-up and productivity.
