Pros

Turner is an old company with somewhat old ways of thinking. In today's fast moving 'employee experience' focused culture, it can be hard to want to see faster growth. I was told while there that they are more like a cruise ship than a speedboat. They do turn, but they do so slowly. That said - you can rely on the fact that they pay attention to changing trends and support staff in growth constantly. Although they might not adopt new technologies overnight, if you can prove the value, they'll embrace it. You feel like you're a part of a family at Turner and I truly believe they care about each employee at their core.

Cons

Upward mobility is slow, and steady. It's hard to get promoted at Turner if you're not a rock-star employee or you're not part of the inner circle of whoever happens to be steering your business unit or your department at the time. Positions do change often, and movement around to different roles is possible, but as you evolve to larger roles the line you have to wait in for bigger positions gets longer, unless there happens to be a slot available which can stifle someone who is pushing for more aggressive growth.

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.
