KOA Reviews

The new parent company - Lochner - is totally profit-driven and has eliminated valuable employees, a number with 10 to over 20 years experience, at all levels from Admin to Division Managers. They have also been inept in hiring additional staff, significantly overburdening key staff that has for some reason remained after the takeover. The Lochner managers from the Midwest that have been assigned to KOA pretend to be nice guys, but in reality are non-communicative for the most part, except when they want to chew managers out for not meeting financial targets. The main Lochner manager for the Orange office is a dishonest, hatchet man that wants "yes" men to help him with the dirty work. Lochner obviously could care less about the type of local agency work that KOA has traditionally done, and is simply looking to establish a foothold in So Cal and transition into large regional transportation projects, BEWARE!!
