Tutor Perini Corporation

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part was having broken down equipment that mechanics never get to fixing, which causes other components to fail or need servicing. Tutor is synonymous with broken equipment, backstabbing foreman, shorting your hours.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Well let's start with two shifts on a major transportation project (Purple Line) and let's schedule deliveries over concrete pours on the same night. No email or note on this push. Personally, the terminal/ release of good equipment operators in order to lower overtime cost. In the end, it cost more time, which equals dollars wasted on keeping up with schedule.  I understand the pressure management has with Federal, State, County, City officials wanting to see some progress, but not retaining trade workers who can capable to the job at hand and still believing that schedule milestones will be kept is hubris.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Two face. Shifty. No accountability. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The news of the last shifts screw up s, and we need to do to fix it ASAP

A typical day was always challenging with long hours.  The construction projects were large commercial projects typically multi-year in duration with from $100m to $400m contract values. I was responsible for the supervision and training of all clerical/administrative and accounting personnel on the project sites.

I started as a temporary vacation relief employee which became a full time position. I was with TutorPerini for 26 years, so learned everything from secretarial to project controller skills.

TutorPerini management was extremely professional while maintaining a great "employees matter" mindset.   

I worked with some wonderful people, all of which had the team attitude.

The hardest part of the job was the long days, often 6 or 7 days a week. Also difficult was meeting and developing relationships with people and then leaving them behind when the project was complete.

The best part of the job was the people I worked with and living in different states and cities.

Typical day was very chaotic in the beginning.  It only got worst when I saw that I was playing catch up on projects that came before I was even an employees. The director/Manager of the Tenant Improvement department was clueless on what it takes to run a project smoothly.  I did everything from going to bid proposal walk throughs to getting permits for these various projects.  With no training on the system to input the data, I was given the run around when i asked if I would be trained.  I tried to ask one of the elder employees, whom was not helpful at all. I asked HR and my director  about training again; vague responses.  No training and then ultimately "Let Go" because he felt I was doing "receptionist work."
I only did what was asked if me and when i tried to get the training they promised, was put off and then fired.  My first time being fired in my life.   This company has a lot of issues, well at least that Philly office do.

In day you can deal with enrollments one second then filling out paperwork for an injured employee and reviewing their drug test results. Everything HR ran through our on site office. I dealt with all types of employees from construction workers to corporate employees. Our departments took care of new hires, benefits, employee expenses, terminations and anything else HR related that an employee needed help with. Followed up with any issues to make sure there were answer and a resolution had been met. I worked with a lot of people that were from out of state so I was relied upon a bit to provide New York State laws and to make sure that everything done was according to the law. On the other hand I learned a lot about other areas in America and their laws when processing certain paperwork.

Tutor Perini Co., and staff were very caring and helpful to my needs. good place to work. I was assigned to do a lot of filling and data entry. I learned new ways to input data entry and much about the company. Management was very caring, understanding, and helpful. Culture wise, Tutor Perini is diverse and flexible with issues and problems needed to be solved. The hardest part of the job was my first day on. New environment, I had to adapt to the nature, culture, and the fast pace. I had to learn their way of doing things, which was all in all a learning experience for me being that it was a different company form the others I use to work for. The most enjoyable part of the job was data entry, inputting information into their system and learning about all kinds of clients we serviced.

A typical day would include meeting with supervisors to review the daily activities. Make sure supervisors have safety measures in place and all workers have been trained to perform their tasks.

Conduct a walk through of the work areas make observations on safe and unsafe work behaviors.

Meet with supervisors to discuss any unsafe work conditions or unsafe work practices.

If necessary, meet with supervisor for disciplinary actions.

Write safety plans.

Conduct worker safety orientation and other safety training to meet OSHA requirements.

The most difficult part of my job is working long hours and into the weekend when needed.

The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing all workers go home safe each day to their families..

Most people worked at least 10-12 hours a day. Us Engineers were asked to spend as much time in the field as possible which proved very hard due to the amount of paperwork and meetings. I tried to spend at least one hour a day in the field. The workplace environment was one of the worst I've ever been in but it was the nature of the project and the times (recession). We made the best of it and just grew thicker skin. I learned a great deal on this job mainly through collaboration with some very smart peers and I had an amazing boss. I was difficult but most of us flourished with the challenging work.

Those I work to love my job and well my patience.

This company was very demanding of your time. The department head I had and some co workers were back stabbing and difficult to work with. I was not hired by the department head for accounting and therefore was always being watched. The management that I was hired by was great and family oriented and we were all working as a team. Then came some different personnel and there was always pressure for who was going to be on top. Many great employee's left the company. Some are very successful to this day.

A typical day at work involve 60% user support from communications to the desktop. I have 10 field engineers across 6 states that I am responsible for coordinating their daily activities, provide escalation of issues, interfacing with regional executive of the BUs I am responsible. 40% of my time is spend on special assignments, from developing n application to negotiating with vendors for products and services. 

The hardest part of my job rationalizing with an disgruntled customer.  

The most enjoyable is working with my employees.
