Pros

Work Life Balance: Working 8 hours a day at Turner is the expectations, working 10 hours a day is acceptable, and working +12 hours will likely get you into some trouble Office: Construction is notorious for understaffing jobs and overworking employees. I have never felt this way at Turner. This is the most redeeming quality from my perspective since I know Turner loses work because they are heavier than the competition in staff costs. Safety & Quality: Because Turner jobs are staffed APPROPRIATELY, it leads to better quality construction and safer job sites. Obviously this is a generalization, but it is true a better staffed job is going to have move involvement from engineering staff and more presence in the field. Diversity: in an industry full of white men, it is incredible how successful HR is at creating a diverse staff. It's very refreshing to have people with different background in the office, and Turner is relentless with that pursuit.

Cons

Pay: Turner is middle-of-the-road for pay. The only caveat to this is they are consistent and above the norm in merit based increases. You will likely make less at Turner starting, but their review process makes it very easy to get above average increases yearly. I made less than my peers when I start with Turner, but I've sense passed most of them. Either way, it wasn't easy to take less money at the start.

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.
