Pros

good starting company for employees wanting to enter the skilled craft field, some great people out in the field. great safety program

Cons

very poor money management they still rent tools they had in the 1970's. Upper supervision is lost at best. they hurt themselves with all the useless rules they put onto the employees. no one wants to communicate and what the boss says goes do not expect to have any imput and management will not fallow the same rules they make for the employees.

Pros

Working at KBR provided great experience in compliance, SOP management, KPI reporting, and operational support. The role helped strengthen my attention to detail, documentation accuracy, and ability to support audit-ready processes in a fast-paced environment. I appreciated the opportunity to work independently, improve processes, and collaborate cross-functionally while supporting government and aerospace-related operations.

Cons

I did not personally experience any major cons during my time at KBR. Overall, it was a positive environment that provided strong operational experience, professional growth, and exposure to compliance-driven processes and aerospace support operations.

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
