Pros

- #1 GC in the country with a lot of great, well-established offices. *You need to make sure the office you're applying with is established with a solid pipeline* - Solid PTO and vacation package - Good healthcare benefits package

Cons

- The Austin "division" continues to fail to get work in town to keep their people busy locally or to provide meaningful career growth. Excessive commuting to fringe areas where they can get work and/or traveling for projects in other parts of the country is expected. This is not disclosed when folks are hired here. - Toxic managers are tolerated and serious employee issues caused by them are swept under the rug frequently. The HR department specifically is there to protect the company and nothing else. - Underperforming managers/leaders are tolerated here creating a serious morale and overall division performance issue. - The feeling of being just a number is real here. Did not feel valued as a human being or that my career goals were given any consideration. - Superintendents are treated like 2nd class citizens to PMs at Turner. This is not typical at many advanced general contractors.

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.
