Pros

Turner can be a wonderful place to work overall. Turner has a stated well-defined culture based on the most honorable values and they employ systems based on the most sound construction management and business principles. Turner University provides tremendous opportunity for self improvement and a readily available guide to learn their systems. Financially successful management will be rewarded. Projects are among the most exciting and interesting ones being built. Salaries are generous and compensation is sometimes made for extra levels of output that are requested of an employee. Turner has within its ranks some of the finest and most talented people.

Cons

Although Turner exhibits ethical values overall, self serving paths are sometimes chosen over paths that are consistent with stated core values. Regional management sometimes heeds official requirements in appearance only. Performance reviews can be highly manipulated and more non-confrontational than to-the-point. Turner is not immune to common large company problems such as tolerated nonproductive personnel and bad eggs unknown to upper management.

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.
