Pros

Most employees are very talented and friendly. Good company on your resume, but remember you are just a number. You may have a long and successful career if you agree with dated management, policies, and procedures.

Cons

If you get the wrong management and lackluster internal team, you are in for quite a surprise. Turner Construction cares more about its bottom line than its employees' success or progression. They do a great job advertising their mission of DE&I. However, this performative activism is misleading to people unaware of what Turner prioritizes. The all-mighty dollar. You must be the perfect "Stepford wife" or cookie-cutter person. If you think independently, you become the problem, and everyone will see you as such. I have seen many good employees get terminated for thinking or doing something that was not the TURNER WAY.

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.
