The salary for your level
Kier Group Response
Hi, thanks for your feedback. We're pleased to see that during your time with us, you were a part of a positive working environment, this is the atmosphere we want to see all across the business! In regards to your comments on salary, these are noted. We would like to add that currently we're operating in a very difficult candidate led market, where some businesses are offering unsustainably high salaries. At Kier, we have wonderful benefits available for all of our employees, ranging from our green car scheme all the way to discounts at your favourite stores and restaurants. Thanks again.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Having been 12 years since I worked in an office environment, I cannot believe the genuine supportive culture that has been created with Kier. Nothing is too much problem. The biggest wins for me are the family friendly policies, with support for agile working. Had my previous employer had such supportive policies, it is unlikely I would have had to leave their employment.
Cons
At this current time, I have not identified any.

Pros
I've found Kier to be a supportive and understanding employer, looking to bring out the best and develop Employees to their full potential.

Some may find company procedures and Management System has been improved and increased so much now that its becoming unwieldy. Can be useful at times but at other times there's a lot to wade through to ensure compliance.
