      Take the job for what it's worth - Geologist Kleinfelder Employee Review

      Pros

      -Hire entry level with little to no experience (I was hired right out of college). -My office had good managers that were knowledgeable about the project. -Depending on which office, you get the opportunity to see a lot of different activities that might not be available elsewhere.

      Cons

      -Salary is not competitive once you've achieved 1-2 years of experience. My office had steady turnover at the 1.5-2 year mark as people could leave and get $10-15,000 more a year with very little effort to retain these employees. Raises were small if you got one at all. This is why my title says to take the job for what it's worth. It's great to get something on a resume, but the job simply isn't competitive on the market once you've got that. -Hire externally to fill positions. Management positions would occasionally open up but no one in house was ever seriously considered. I saw zero opportunity for career growth in the company long term. This coupled with the pay was ultimately the reason I left.

      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
