Whiting-Turner reviews

If you want to work 50-60 hours a week, weekends sometimes (salary so you're not compensated for anything over your base wage), under stressful conditions, over budget and past schedule, and not have a 401k match, then this job is for you! Think twice before committing to working full time with WT. They built their reputation years ago. They USED to be a great general contractor (GC), now they're an average construction manager (CM). Things are way too corporate now. Safety is so strict you can't get the job done. Your upper manager will breathe down your neck with every move you make. You get thrown into the wolves (which is a good way to learn) but you get chewed out for making a mistake. Honestly, I wish I had known better.

Long hours with frequent weekend work and overtime. No training you'll need to figure it out as you go and bosses will tell you that. The company is growing to fast and almost all project and operating groups are under staffed. Large work load with little help. Relocation is all but certain. You won't have a life outside work because the job consumes you. Don't be fooled by their golden carrots nearly all the good benefits are only attainable after working there 30 yrs +. In the meantime you'll be burning yourself out physically and mentally. If you don't have an absolute love for construction and don't mind the negatives aspect of the job don't work there. You won't be doing what you went to school for. If you're work as an office guy (pm or pe) you're pushing paper, putting lots of fires out, and your basically a lackey for your boss. If you work as a field guy (super or fe) your basically babysitting subs and trying to meet unrealistic scheduling targets.
