      Special Inspector - Special Inspector Kleinfelder Employee Review

      Pros

      Keep in us busy when work is slow we get sent out if town. The schedule is flexible when work is slow. Direct supervisors/managers are some of the best I've had. Understanding but bold when necessary.

      Cons

      Retirement plan is the worst joke in the office. It is notoriously poor profit sharing and 401k plan. If I had any large family I would not be able to afford the health care. I get the minimum and use my wife's insurance. There is an attempt to disguise the poor benefits with annual bowling trips etc. Tuition reimbursement is advertised only prior to hiring but do not expect it not even ICC classes are paid for. Pay is 1 to 2 dollars below the local standard. Work gets slow in the off season. Though we go out of town we also finish weeks with less than 20 hours in between.

      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
