Pros

Turner has offices across the entire country and is a great way to get started in the construction industry. The transfer potential to a different office location is very high and the company has individuals to help in this type of transition. Such a large company can provide many different opportunities for employees to work on many different projects. This is a great advantage to smaller construction managers or general contractors which generally have their own specific niche of projects.

Cons

Such a large company makes promotions and job recognitions somewhat arbitrary. Staff are sometimes promoted on personal relationships they may have with management and not necessarily based on performance.

Pros

Turner is a big, established company. There are many locations to choose from if you choose to transfer and it is international. The pay seems to be pretty good for my position, but I know the higher levels make a LOT more money.

Cons

Construction can be fickle. Sometimes there's work; sometimes there isn't. It can become worrisome when work is slow.

Pros

Medical Benefits and Networking Events, some of the people at Turner are very nice and helpful. They have a mentoring program that is excellent. They have someone there to help you if you need direction and they are very open to tell you where you are headed or where you could be headed in the company. The overall expierence at Turner makes me want to stay in a small company forever. They have great meetings, they are very informative and keep you in the loop on what is going on, it's the only way to really know whats going on if you arent Senior Management.

Cons

Starting with Management, they have the worst Management that you could possibly think of. They need to work on Seperating thoes who "can" manage people and thoes who "can't" manage people, the would get allot futher ahead just by doing that. Turner is so much drama to work for, if you are looking for a company that you can go to work at and do your job, maybe meet a few nice people and go home, then Turner is NOT the company for you. They need to work on their Human Resources Department, maybe get them to start following the policy's that they put into place.
