Pros

Having the opportunity to work with different coworkers on different projects.

Cons

Management does not listen to their employees' concerns. Operates to maximize profit at any cost including squeezing benefits from its workers. Projects are bid low and unrealistically to acquire work from client as they are new in Canada, but then management turns around and blames its workers for losing money and justifying cuts and don't take responsibility. Management is very tunnel visioned in their ways and do not entertain employees' ideas to help its business. It is okay to management to keep adding responsibilities to a worker without giving them the proper raise or title. No overtime pay even though it is industry standard for field work.

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
