Pros

Turner offers a great benefits package and above average salary. The people in administrative positions in the Cincinnati office are very personable and helpful. Stress work/life balance but expect you to be available on vacations/time off.

Cons

For a company this size I'm amazed there is no central marketing or communications group. As a result there is no cohesive look/feel to any of the marketing materials. As a marketing group member you are expected to also be a graphic designer. Performing basic graphics I can understand but they expect you to do rebranding and high level design. In additional most business units only have one marketing professional. Which means it's all you all the time. I work for a subsidiary and it's clear the lack of marketing structure has been around for awhile. I would recommend Turner as a place to get 2 or 3 years experience but I do not recommend for someone with experience as a marketing professional. You will get frustrated very quickly.

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.
