Not as bad as other GCs - Project Engineer Whiting-Turner Employee Review

Pros

Pay is solid, not as high as other GCs but that's because their hours are slightly better (still 50 hours a week starting out and worse as you move up). Loyal to their employees, benefits are good and if you stick around you are rewarded.

Cons

Vacation is low considering you have to work weekends and it is completely up to your project manager whether you get any additional time off for working a weekend. Everyone has bought into the idea that you have to be working 50 hour weeks even when there isn't that much to do. There is no tracking of how much time is spent working, I could work 12 hours a day and no one would know and I wouldn't get any reward for doing so. There does not appear to be any formal training for up and coming project managers that actually teaches them how to manage a team of people.

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
