Pros

Large company should = large projects. Normal benefits for a reasonable employer. Nice location downtown San Jose. Able to reasonably buy clients lunch with a company credit card.

Cons

Painfully discriminatory to women. Absolutely no upward mobility for women. NO BIM expert, no revit expertise in San Jose. No decent estimators. Some good PM's. Teams had repeated Poor interview performances for winning project RFP's I delivered. Turner knowingly mislead clients with false low estimates, then change-ordered them excessively, leading to anger and mistrust by clients. No repeat clients due to this terrible reputation. Disrespectful, careless and rude management attitude toward women especially, overall. This was a painful mistake on my part, accepting this position with a man I had never trusted in the industry. Pursuing a salary is usually a mistake and I made it.

Pros

Opportunity for advancement is second to none. Support systems and resources are there, hard workers can and will move up in the company quickly. Compensation is what I would describe as competitive/average, you won't get rich but you won't struggle either. Generous PTO offerings and all the bank holidays are paid days off, at least for salaried staff.

Cons

Corporate feel, corporate policies, corporate everything. You need to have a strong stomach for cringe inducing, insufferable corporate nonsense that will be injected in your day to day by executives that have a poor understanding of how to effectively manage trade partners, job site relations, and clients alike. Also, you will work like a dog, work life balance is non existent. The needs of the project or demands of the owner are expected to come first, reinforced by a culture of 'workaholism' that permeates all facets of the company. Typically at least 10 hour days 5 days a week for operations staff, large projects can get far worse than that, like inhumane expectations for work hours and production.
