Where I Belong - Manager Turner Construction Employee Review

Pros

The leaders care. The pay is more than competitive. Real opportunities to develop. (It's truly ok to make a mistake and fess up about it.) My coworkers and leaders are solution oriented.

Cons

Slow to change. Since the company has been around for over 100 years, they know better than to jump on every new fad or trend. Unfortunately that leaves us a bit behind the times. Some days, going into the office is like going back 20 years (in terms of both attitudes and technology). Execs and senior leaders are too "in the weeds". While they're super-smart, they often weigh in on decisions that are well outside of their area of expertise. The decision making process slows down, or frankly, deteriorates all-together at this stage.

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.
