Pros
Pursuing this path was a substantial deviation from my prior professional life. With that said, I had been looking for an organization like Turner Mining Group for quite a while. I was specifically searching for a company with the intuition, drive and audacity to combine the following key components; •ample access to truly life changing professional opportunities •the generally misunderstood assets of career youth and inexperience for both company and employee benefit •an industry in which the demand for people was much higher than the immediately visible supply. Turner Mining Group is doing exactly that. They match focused and driven individuals with potentially life changing opportunities in an industry in which the workforce is otherwise unable to maintain its labor demands. They ARE changing the game for the better. Before someone begins their path with Turner Mining Group, it would be in a candidate’s best interest to avoid comparing it to other jobs. It would be very difficult to gauge the full potential of this organization if you view it from the conventional J.O.B. lens. The potential of and within this organization is tremendous. Joining Turner Mining Group could be the beginning of something truly spectacular. Its intensely fulfilling to be a part of something larger than one’s self. Plus, who doesn’t love moving lots of material with heavy equipment?
Cons
If you’re just looking for “any job”, let me save you some time. Just enough to get by won’t get you by. Turner Mining Group doesn’t do anything mediocre. The expectation from top to bottom and vice versa is that everyone is on the same team and pulling on the same rope. We need each and every person in this organization. This can be daunting for some. The mining industry is not for the faint of heart. After all, mountains don’t move themselves. The days (or nights) are long. The work environment can be exceptionally unforgiving due to weather conditions. The actual work is extremely demanding physically and mentally. Every project is different and there really isn’t an idle pace. In addition, most of the our projects require travel for weeks at a time away from family and home life. But, if that doesn’t scare you away and you’re looking for more than “any job”, Turner Mining Group might be just the place for you.
