Turner Construction reviews

Although performance is evaluated in a lengthy and easily trumped up form, the reality is that you are judged on "face-time" and whether you were there that day, they've never heard of ROWE or job share or any alternative means of working. Management is completely out of touch with the present and mid-level personnel who often don't fit the model of one bread winner of the 1930s, but are forced to fit the mold nevertheless at great personal sacrifice. Work-life-balance is bandied around, but not practiced nor encouraged, only offered to very few and far between individuals and kept of the hush hush for fear of reprisals. A company that does not value it's female employees at all, and mommy-tracks them in silent but effective ways, and looses much of their experience and knowledge. Long hours are expected. A business development branch that undersells and riddles teams with high risk contracts and expects teams to "clean up" the mess and make a profit with under-experienced team members and a dangled carrot of a "potential bonus" at the end of the project.

Upper Mgt. basis promotions on favoritism. I was really excited for awhile to be working at Turner but it has been an ultimate disappointment. If you haven't been raised in the Turner Family you are an outsider. Mr. Davoren needs to connect with the lower level people and not just the officers. . The biggest thing is the leadership needs to be turned over and they need to move into the 21st century.
