Pros

I have joined the International Business unit in Turner since 2010. The company's name is very big in the Construction Management field. They offered me an above average salary.

Cons

The management does not pay any attention to the Human resources taking into consideration that the main company resource is people. No allowances for any training. If you want to get training, take by your own in your free time after work hours and they won't pay a penny. Have problems with boss, solve it yourself or you'd better look for another a job as there is nobody to report to. No support from management. No Place for innovators. "This is how we used to do it and no other way to do 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.
