Pros

“Big Turner” is fine. They run jobs well enough, their people are competent. Turner SPO however… a totally different story. Turner Self Perform Operations was a joke during the time I worked there. No safety standards, no safety practices really enforced. Non-union company, which uses a prison work release program to justify low wages and ZERO career advancement. Even after meeting with HR and getting promises from management- a year passed, and literally nothing changed or improved. When I gave them my 2 weeks, the shop boss told me, “I don’t need you anyway”. Never missed a day, never late, went above and beyond the whole time. Apply elsewhere.

Cons

The Turner Self Perform Operations division is a waste of time for anyone looking for a career in the construction industry.

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.
