      I have been working at KBR full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      Healthcare insurance is not the best but, decent. 401K match is above average.

      Cons

      Upper management is out of touch with what their employees do on a daily basis. Raises seem to be split evenly across the bord rather than being based on personal proformance.

      Advice to Management

      Be more involved. Recognize those who stand out.

      I worked at KBR full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      It's money to pay bills but not sure that's a pro considering the number of hours you are expected to work for free and the low salary and poor benefits. There are no "atta boys" only threats if you don't make magic happen with less than half of the number of employees needed in a dept to be successful to serve the customers.

      Cons

      See above plus benefits are very crappy compared to other companies. Most everyone has left that can find other employment and those who haven't left are trying to get out but the problem is that the company is so toxic that other companies are a little apprehensive about hiring someone from KBR because of their reputation.

      Advice to Management

      Stop padding your pockets and pay attention to your employees. You all have forgotten that without them, you won't be getting the BIG salaries and bonus checks.
