Pros – Fun place to work with pretty good pay especially if able to work on overtime. Good benefits and a big company to work for.

Advice to Senior Management – Notify and educate employees about oportunities for professional development and possibilities with moving up in the company and promotions/ work expectations

Former Employee – worked at Knife River

Pros – If you want to make money as a hourly employee, this is a great company. The pay scale is very bottom heavy. It takes a few promotions to make as much as you would as an hourly employee. If you work hard and are competant, there will be opportunity for you to advance. The company is increasingly concerned about safety which is a good thing.

Cons – like many other companies in the industry, somehow a few idiots have managed to be promoted to a point of incompetency. Summers will be very long hours and little chance of getting time off.

Advice to Senior Management – Affirm the blue collar guys often. If they feel appreciated, they will work harder.
