Pros

If Turner hires you out of college they put time and effort into training their new hires. You will often have at least two two-day training sessions every year. The size of Turner allows them to bid and construct many high profile and challenging projects. This gives operations employees a wide range of projects and areas to develop skills. Being so large, there are many individuals within each business unit with veteran experience in several areas of construction including stadiums, healthcare and higher education.

Cons

Turner seems to pride themselves on hiring the best talent, but when times are good and demand for more staff is high, they always seem to bring in sub-par talent. This oversight by upper management leaves job teams at a disadvantage. There is a divide between field staff and upper management. Information is rarely fed from the top down leaving most employes out of the loop.

Pros

There are great people at Turner. The friendships I've made are what have kept me there so long, and I know I'm not alone in that thought. There is a lot of opportunity and so many paths to the top.

Cons

Benefits are not that great, tuition reimbursement is poor, but they are probably comparable to other construction companies. Pay is also comparable to the industry, but you have to fight for your promotions and raises. At the end of the day, the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

Pros

Turner allows young professionals the ability to learn very quickly since they are given a tremdous amout of responsibity very early. They are a very large company which allows the employee the ability to transfer or suitcase. They have wonderful insurance.

Cons

Turner is a very political company with the headquarters in New York. The office is clearly run with favorites and if are not one, do not expect a promotion or any praise for your successes. The HR department is nonexistent, so if you have an HR problem, they will turn it around as your problem and sweep it under the rug. New employees receive no training and are required to "sink or swim" leading to a tremdous amount of turnover.
