Pros
Some of the best connections of my career were made at Kleinfelder. I worked with great people that are very talented. I got to work on a lot of different projects, and I greatly expanded my knowledge and experience base.
Cons
Most of the people I worked with have moved on to better opportunities because the company is floundering and not making a profit. Why? I honestly don't know. The top-heavy management structure has always been clueless and opaque, and we never got satisfying explanations from them. All I do know is that the employees are being squeezed in an effort to turn a profit. First overtime and comp time was taken away, then a series of office closures, layoffs, poor raises, etc. And top of all that, the employee share of the cost of health benefits keeps going up every year. So while I can't tell you why Kleinfelder is struggling to a make a profit, I can tell you that it is trying to make a profit by treating employees like line items on a cost sheet.
