Pros

Turner has been a very successful company in recent years and takes care of its employees. Pay is usually highly competitive and we do receive a bonus of one extra paycheck (Free) at the end of the year. I have worked with them for 5 years and have never really had any hard issues with the company.

Cons

The hiring practices and pay scales can be a bit skewed and can even be perceived as a bit corrupt. Some employees will be paid more for less work and vice versa. It really comes down to who your manager/supervisor is. Sometimes it does feel like Turner cares more about their bottom line than the success or progression of their employees. I know of one occasion where an employee was hired at a higher position with more pay than myself, yet I had more and better experience. Turner values older employees and will sometimes take advantage of younger employees, so it is very important to advocate for yourself within a role inside of Turner. That said, Turner is a very good place to work if you're willing to put in the effort of a long career.

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.
