Pros

Turner is very willing to work with your personal goals/extracurriculars. The work-life balance is pretty good and as a company they've been striving to improve since the industry calls for long hours. It does vary project to project, and depends on the team you are working with. For the most part, the people at Turner are great to work with and make coming to work every day enjoyable.

Cons

The construction industry in general can be very stressful and calls for long hours over certain periods of time, this includes working weekends, second or third shift, etc. Career plan and growth isn't as transparent as it should be, especially in the first few years at Turner. For some reason, what project you're going to be working on next is a big secret (even weeks before your transition) until you reach a certain level of seniority. You're lucky if you find out you're going to a new project a couple weeks in advance.

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.
