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

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
