Pros

Turner offers a great benefits package and above average salary. The people in administrative positions in the Cincinnati office are very personable and helpful. Stress work/life balance but expect you to be available on vacations/time off.

Cons

For a company this size I'm amazed there is no central marketing or communications group. As a result there is no cohesive look/feel to any of the marketing materials. As a marketing group member you are expected to also be a graphic designer. Performing basic graphics I can understand but they expect you to do rebranding and high level design. In additional most business units only have one marketing professional. Which means it's all you all the time. I work for a subsidiary and it's clear the lack of marketing structure has been around for awhile. I would recommend Turner as a place to get 2 or 3 years experience but I do not recommend for someone with experience as a marketing professional. You will get frustrated very quickly.

Pros

Great history, decent corporate structure and has built a ton of world renowned buildings. Good stepping stone for a career in construction.

Cons

Work life balance is non-existent while being noticeably promoted. There is hint of favoritism with respect to promotions and the value of any employee.

Pros

Smart leaders and followers, vast knowledge network available for all employees. Large projects to build and sense of comraderie amongst the project teams.

Cons

Not concentrated at obtaining true engineers (professional engineers with licenses). Some SPD employees do not get the proper training needed to succeed (sink or swim mentality). Too many levels in the corporate heirarchy, which is indicative of a large corporation.
