Svantaggi
Turas can be a good step for those coming out of college looking for their first job, unfortunately the shelf-life for most positions is 18-24 months. 90% of roles are strictly entry-level, so if you have ANY work experience, I would suggest looking elsewehere, because the pay and benefits are far too low. It's not a simple good or bad as much as it is what you're looking for. If you're looking for a place to grow, flourish and develop a healthy career, this would not be it. The biggest challenge I saw at Turas was the leadership and the culture. I'll save leadership for below. The culture was probably the worse I've worked at in my career. It's a bizarre fusion of ministry and business that hasn't figured out which one it wants to be, resulting in not being overly effective or fun at either. Turas is a place that has a mission it is deeply committed to, and you aren't it. That mission supercedes adhering to many basic busines principles as well developing a healthy company culture. To be more explicit: the business exists to execute the mission, they do not go in tandem. That has very negative impacts on the people and business at times. In terms of hierarchal importance, it will go: mission, business, client then employee. Don't be surprised when pay or benefits feel like scraps from table, bc at the end of the day, you are there to fuel the machine that is the business that executes the mission. If you enjoy being a cog in a machine, you'll love it here. Turas has a lot of potential, it really does. But when I left, I saw no signs of changing.
