Many great people, but challenges to growth

Pros

So many really great people, good client base, good culture and despite geography-based structure you can work around the silos that can sometimes create roadblocks.

Cons

Significant turnover at higher levels is a disruption to establish momentum, and the people being held accountable often are not getting the support and tools they need to keep driving the business forward. The benefits are below industry average, and the salary structure is not competitive. Culture is adversely impacted by the disconnect between senior level management and the operations.

Pros

Been doing this for a long time with a smaller company GTS, but we got acquired by Kleinfelder. Happy so far with the job & responsibilities, pay is great but mileage varies. 6 figure income is possible, 2-3 weeks vacation typical

Cons

the benefits leave something to be desired. I hope they match more than 2% for 401k soon, but the company has to answer to shareholders and apparently they don’t think they’ll have an issue with retaining skilled employees. PTO is combined. If you’re sick you are burning vacation time. Company is very profit driven, sometimes to the detriment of the employee
