getting used to the construction codes.

Pros

I Interned with the BIM/VDC department and helped create Turner City 2016. I Worked with some of the most specialized and gifted people in the industry who were great teachers and mentors. I learned so much. My supervisors were the best people I have ever worked with. They were patient and caring teachers. They recognized talents and abilities that I did not know I possessed. I had the opportunity to meet several of the top executives including the CEO Peter Davoren. I expected to be treated as an intern might expect, as a low level nobody. Not only did they go out of their way to introduce themselves to me, they remembered my name and we had several incredible conversations throughout my time there. Overall, working for Turner Construction at Corporate Headquarters in New York was incredible. I learned so much and would happily work full time with them.

Cons

To answer this question, I have to grasp at straws. I came to work happy and excited to do my job. I enjoyed the people I worked with. I felt appreciated and my hard work was recognized. I was treated very well for an intern. My harshest criticism is that I wish I got paid more. But at the same time, my hourly rate was very generous. I also wish that I was not capped at 40 hours a week.

Pros

Great people and talent - This is by far what I miss most at Turner Provides employees flexibility to learn and handle your work Work/Life balance is great if you can handle your work Supervisors and co-workers are willing to drop everything to help answer questions and guide you through problems

Cons

Compensation can be better Management stresses patience will get you to your desired salary which is often too long for a lot of employees leading to high turnover Poor performing employees are often covered up by really great employees that do not get the acknowledgement they deserve Promotion is by seniority and not performance

Pros

Great pay and people to work with

Cons

None at all. Great company

Pros

The people are great and there is a lot of camaraderie. It's a great place to work if you're just starting out in your career.

Cons

Salary. Since leaving I have made a lot more money.

Pros

My role was an intern Field Engineer. I was responsible for handling technical documents and performing field checks (project management). Being able to go into the field is nice when the days drag on or if a project is at a slower point. I worked with some great people and some people I didn't care for. Pay is perfectly fine too for construction industry.

Cons

Major downside is not unique to Turner: dealing with the subcontractors. If you do not like doing that Field positions are likely not for you. Also the starting vacation time and growth is flat out bad, in my opinion (begin at 10+1 days and max out at 20+1 after many years of working there).

Pros

They had a great training program and worked hard to develop their people. Very transparent in terms of business inner workings. Good client base and good reputation in the industry.

Cons

Very slow salary growth. They also tend to reward people for years of service more than performance. If you et in early and work hard, you can spend a whole career there.
