Pros

As Project Executive, my primary responsibility is for overall client satisfaction for the project. Provide leadership for the on-site project team and has full authority and accountability for the success of your project. I pride myself as a highly effective team builder, as evidenced by a long list of trusting repeat clients as well as an extremely loyal staff. I am responsible to ensure the proper staff from all of our service groups are performing well; and are bringing energy and creative solutions to your project. I lead 30 professional staff and 35 to 50 field staff. As part of the Turner, the Special Projects Division (SPD) brings you the depth and resources of a premier construction company with the speed and flexibility you require. SPD completes industrial renovations, equipment replacements, interior renovations, additions, and new construction projects generally in the range of $10,000 to $15 million.

Cons

We are a small local company back by a giant. When apparently simple improvements are suggested it takes a long time to implement

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.
