      Great company if you are on a supportive team

      Pros

      Great name to have on your resume, awesome benefits, excellent training courses. Most of leadership seems to care about and look out for their employees.

      Cons

      Nepotism and Favoritism. Also the insane pace of workload can be a nightmare. Turner is a southern company, built on the good ol boy system and promotes their friends. If you hang out with leadership on your team, you will be promoted. If you do not, you will not. Work performance does not factor into your promotion. Friendship weighs heavier and clouds judgement of managers. They like to have their ego stroked and butts kissed. Working hard at your desk will get you no where. You have to be super energetic and enthusiastic about your work and broadcast that. This is seen as passionate. Even if you are not that type of personality you must become it to thrive here. Bad ideas will be considered if there is "passion" around them over great ideas. There is no work, life, balance and the pace is insanely fast. Work. life, balance only exists for management or the kiss ups. Subject matter experts are only promoted if they build a relationship with management.
