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.

Advice to Senior Management

Share information to the people who are the foundation of the company. Become more hands on, once you reach a certain level you distance yourself too far from the projects.
