Pros

Great Benefit Package Great Opportunity for Travel

Cons

Have worked at Kiewit for 3.5 years. Was hired at 40 hours per week. Continually pressured to work longer hours. Recently was told hours are now 50 plus--no exceptions. I am a wife and mother. I work to live, I do not live to work. I am enraged that the company lies to entice prospective employees. I would have never quit my 40 hour a week job to work for Kiewit if they were honest of the expectations.

Pros

Great opportunities - the company takes on the most difficult projects and accomplishes near impossible tasks. Decent benefits - the starting wages and insurance packages are sufficient without much other support.

Cons

Extremely long hours - expect to work from 5 or 6 am to 7 or 8 pm. Extremely long weeks - expect to work on nearly all Saturdays and most Sundays. Harsh environment - expect to be setup to fail and the harshly criticized by management and peers. Distant locales - expect to move, every year, to another state. Marry your work - expect to have marital issues and lack of connections to people outside of work. (but don't despair, you can marry within the company among your subordinates!)

Pros

Decent pay for first year employees out of college but you will earn it. Expect to work 60 hours plus in the field. If in the district office then plenty of 50 hour weeks

Cons

Lots of unpaid overtime work. They have over hired so it's going to be hard to move up quickly in the company
