Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at KBR full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Great employees, Good work environment. Many of the staff have been with the company for 10 yrs or longer. Covered parking.
Cons
No room for advancement, benefits have decreased and there is an indefinite freeze on raises below the executive level . It seems that there is more emphasis on establishing catchy safety campaigns and stock holder happiness than employee retention.
Advice to Management
Better compensate your employees below the executive level.

"No Paid Holidays or Raises"
Star Star Star Star Star- Work/Life Balance

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at KBR full-time
Pros
Was a good company to work for.
Cons
There have been no paid holidays for one year, and there will be none in the future under current policy. No one has gotten a raise during the last two years. The reason is to temporarily raise the stock price. No concern is given to retention of quality personnel. I am embarrassed to work for a company that does not have paid holidays
Advice to Management
Treat your employees at least as well as your competitors.
