I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working at Turner. The people are top notch. It's a big company with a small company feel.

Cons

I have no complaints. It has easily, without a doubt, been the best company that I have ever worked for.

Pros

You will learn a lot about the industry. A well known, high visibility company. Had some amazing jobs to work on, and some fantastic coworkers..vacation and sick days were not lumped together as " PTO("paid time off" )as is the case with many companies . Quarterly functions to address " state of business unit operations"was well handled as a nice social function/ cocktail party....A perk. some nicely executed social functions helped smooth the edge of being expected to be at company's beck and call at all times.

Cons

The truly excellent and visionary aren't acknowledged... Serious old boy network, and nepotism runs rampant. You can be the best in your field, but if you aren't one of the " favored ones" ... Start looking to move elsewhere because although you won't be fired.... You'll be pigeon-holed and not promoted or compensated as you should be. Very long work hours are the norm and expected without adequate compensation. Frequent late night and weekend work. Bonus structure very unfairly distributed to really only acknowledge field ops.... If you are considered support in any way.... Forget any meaningful bonus. All in all .... Company has a lot of potential not realized
