Pros

After several bad experiences the last decade, I'm so glad to have become a part of the Turner Construction family. This is a company that truly values their employees. Always seeking to do things that are right for both the customer and the employee. Often in the field, you're encouraged to do what is financially expedient, cover up errors, or blame someone else. This has always left a bad taste in my mouth, but that isn't how Turner operates. The fact that they've also taken the bull by the horns with their D&I initiative is awesome. Truth be told, when I first heard of D&I, I rolled my eyes, I thought it was a terrible idea, but now I see how integrating communities, perspectives, and drawing in people with such varied backgrounds can be so beneficial. When you start listening and not discounting people based on some characteristic or preconceived notion, you might be shocked how much insight they have and just how much you can learn from them.

Cons

Can be demanding, but its a byproduct of being results driven and merit based. I suppose if you're use to the industry blame shifting and scapegoating, take the cash and run, you'll probably hate it, but the demand isn't unbearable, just be ready to work.

Poor compensation / Lack of support from upper management

Pros

1. Large GC with opportunity to work on exciting projects 2. Good benefits

Cons

1. Pay is grossly low compared to industry standard. The only way to actually be paid what is considered standard is to leave Turner for another GC and come back after a while and use your pay from the other GC as leverage ( i have seen this happen multiple times. 2. There is a lack of willingness to learn from some of the older people in management, basic computer skills are POOR 3. Accountability is almost non-existent. You can run a project into the ground and be behind schedule and lose money, but as long as you are likeable they will continue to give you your annual raise (which is also below industry standard.)
