Pros

At Turner Construction Co. the employees are the greatest assets. This being said Turner recognizes this and offers employees great benefits, competitive salary, and extensive professional training. Turner aims to retain employees for life. Their core values are integrity, teamwork, and commitment which aligns with how they treat their employees. They stress work/life balance and certainly support it. Overall a great place to work minus the CONS listed below.

Cons

There are not many cons to working for Turner, especially depending on how driven you are. I'm a very motivated and intelligent individual whom expects to be rewarded for going above and beyond. Turner does not do a very good job of meeting my needs in this area. They seem to treat everyone in the same manner whether they are the "A" players or "C" players. This leads to Turner not retaining their top talent. Salaries are generally lower than other construction companies especially if you are a "go-getter" as described above. Very corporate structure.

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.
