Pros

Turner provides both in-person and on-line training to all of its employees, the benefits package is good and many of the people who work there are very knowledgeable and helpful. If you can find the time and the energy (long work hours are common) to take advantage of the optional training, it will only improve your standing with the company and your hireability elsewhere.

Cons

Turner is a very top-heavy corporation, at least in the Northern California region, so there is a lot of pressure on those working in the field and managing the contracts to produce a large quantity of work to pay for upper management. Although many people have been layed-off in the past year, including people who only worked part-time, the operations managers and project exec's (now "construction managers") remain.

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.
