    Decent Company with Stability, Long Work Hours

    May 15, 2023 - Project Engineer in Los Angeles, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The stability at WT is really great. Even during a pandemic or any strange economic downturn they will make it a point to not fire you and retain your employees. That being said, I saw a lot of turnover during my time there. Great learning experience, opportunity for slow growth, unless you're a favorite. I was actually treated pretty well compared to some of my peers.

    Cons

    You need to work extremely long hours to become a favorite or for them to recognize you as a stellar employee. There is not much work-life balance especially working for their big name clients. Sometimes depending on the project they will send you far from your home even though they will compensate you for gas. Depending on who your manager is, you'll see them having a much more flexible schedule and when you ask for the same understanding/flexibility they will want you at the office no matter what even if they themselves are not at the office. The pay is good but not good enough to work 40+ hours.

    Wear All The Hats

    Mar 9, 2023 - Project Manager in Nashville, TN
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great health and retirement benefits Stable company Plenty of Opportunity Well Known Brand with Plenty of Repeat Customers

    Cons

    Base pay is low - does not justify the hours you have to put in unless you can survive long enough to realize long term benefits. Poor workplace morale. Little training for young PMs and field staff As a result of low base pay/poor hiring (my opinion) - quality of staff around me was weak compared to competition You are expected to wear all hats and do whatever it takes for projects to succeed. Precon - business development - HR - project management- accounting - and playing superintendent when field staff is failing. High turnover

    Great Company For Beginners

    Oct 12, 2022 - Senior Field Engineer in Fort Worth, TX
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    This company is great for starting your career in construction. They allow you to take on responsibilities, run work, and learn from your inevitable failures. The expectations are high and the job hours are long. The benefits are great. Health insurance is no cost if you are single and very cheap for family relatively speaking. 401k with 5% base employer contribution + an additional 50% employer match up to 6% of employee salary (so you contribute 6%, WT contributes 8%). 10 paid vacations to start + 1 per year of service. The long term benefits are far more attractive than the short term with stock appreciation rights, fuel card, vehicle allowance, and profit sharing.

    Cons

    Company is very project manager based and it is run that way at all offices with faster career growth and a bigger career ceiling for the office side compared to the field side. No work-life balance. Most days were 11-12hr days for field staff. Trial by fire is typical among field staff "training". Base pay is very low compared to competition even as you get promoted up the ladder. No company vehicles issued. They expect new hires to drive personal vehicles and pay for their own fuel. Typical promotion timeline will have employees receiving fuel cards after 2 years of service. I advise against getting into their "Vandalay" program if they talk about recruiting you for a large data center project.

    Pros

    I don't have anything positive to say about this company

    Cons

    DTLA office was the worst place. Whiting Turner does not have a good culture and they don't their employees with respect. My manager treated me very bad and it affected my productivity. I was always stressed out and miserable . I quit after less than a year during COVID.
