Pros

Career growth opportunities, tuition reimbursement, health benefits, cultural, age & gender diversity , career training, "sky's the limit" depending on your ability to keep up. Really smart and innovative people, educated, fast pace, 5 years at Turner equates to 10 years of construction industry experience.

Cons

Not enough vacation, 3 wks after 5yrs w/Company, 4wks after 15yrs. Long work day, normal work day 6:30am to 5:30pm. Weekend work required, Promotion's are far and few, raise percentages not enough for the hours worked. Equates to emotional & physical draining, really hard to get rid of dead weight personnel.

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.
