Pros

Easy going, nice people, they claim to encourage cross training. They claim to train you. None of that ever came true for me.

Cons

Not a lot of follow thru on a promise. No guaranteed hours and you will get a lot of unpaid hours due to requirements of the job. Winter layoffs even though they say they don't. The work will end up not being enough hours to live on. Inspections are biased to please the paying clients. Hesitant to put in positions that you should be put in even with plenty of experience and degrees. Clickish,

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
