Great company if you are on a supportive team

Pros

Great name to have on your resume, awesome benefits, excellent training courses. Most of leadership seems to care about and look out for their employees.

Cons

Nepotism and Favoritism. Also the insane pace of workload can be a nightmare. Turner is a southern company, built on the good ol boy system and promotes their friends. If you hang out with leadership on your team, you will be promoted. If you do not, you will not. Work performance does not factor into your promotion. Friendship weighs heavier and clouds judgement of managers. They like to have their ego stroked and butts kissed. Working hard at your desk will get you no where. You have to be super energetic and enthusiastic about your work and broadcast that. This is seen as passionate. Even if you are not that type of personality you must become it to thrive here. Bad ideas will be considered if there is "passion" around them over great ideas. There is no work, life, balance and the pace is insanely fast. Work. life, balance only exists for management or the kiss ups. Subject matter experts are only promoted if they build a relationship with management.

Great benefits, competitive compensation, low morale at the moment

Pros

The benefits are competitive as is the salary (once you reached a certain level). Here you have the opportunity to work with people who are dedicated and care about their jobs…they also care about their co-workers.

Cons

There are several layers in management…which leads to bottlenecking and lack of communication between departments. Morale is pretty low right now with people concerned about whether or not they are about to lose their jobs.
