Pros

Now that I have been out of the company for several years now, it is really difficult to note the positives of the current management regime

Cons

Recent management never seems to listen to the rank and file. It is an "Old Boys Club"... and the direct shareholder group is a "Who You Know Club" where one has to be both nominated and voted on before becoming a member. Bad managers are rarely ever fired... Instead they are demoted and allowed to stay on with the hope that they will get frustrated enough to quit.

Pros

Gained a lot of experience in the field Thorough onboarding and training Covered a required certification process Will help immensely for my future Overall, friendly and helpful employees

Cons

6:30 a.m. start time was a tough adjustment, but I ultimately got used to it. I did cry at the end of my time there, because I knew I would miss the people.

Pros

- lovely coworkers - some really cool projects since Kleinfelder wins lots of different types of projects! thankfully i had good relationships with the project managers, but peers that don't have a long history don't have enough work flow or don't get to work on projects they want to - very caring boss - flexible work from home policy

Cons

- incredibly repetitive sometimes - inconsistent work and stress related to staying billable - drab and uninspiring workplace energy - lots of non-optional travel - anyone other than my boss and direct peers was not caring - it's all just a bit corporate and no one is really in love with what they're doing - barely got raises consistent with inflation
