Kleinfelder reviews

- Development of the staff is not a priority company-wide. - Project managers have too many roles. - You drive your own career. You have to find your own work, even as a junior level employee - Not very many people have the "one-company" mentality. The culture is: First you cover your own ass, then your friends, then your office, then maybe help the others throughout the company. - Low Morale - It is very difficult to change your position if you are not satisfied. Your best chance is to relocate to another office or switch companies. - Very slow to replace employees - Don't count on your ESOP for retirement

The management used to listen to suggestions from the rank-and-file, but now they don't. The management used to reward the rank-and-file with spot bonuses, but more recently bonuses seem to be only given to Project Managers and above. To become a member of the Direct Shareholder group, one is nominated and later voted into the group by its existing membership... membership is NOT based on merit, though management often tries to tell the rank-and-file that it is. Historically, the company seems to prefer demoting bad senior managers in hope that they just up and quit on their own, rather than just firing the manager out right. Training for the rank-and-file is often difficult to obtain...company is known to cancel said training if schedule becomes to busy; and when employee later gets penalized for not completing those training goals when annual reviews are conducted.
