Pros

Pretty good benefits. The health saving plan is worth it. Colleagues are great! If you happen to get a good manager you are lucky! Hopefully you will not lose them. Company vehicles are a plus. Most all expenses are paid also. Which is another plus. There are many employees that have longevity here. But they do state the company has changed dramatically.

Cons

Horrible management! Definitely not worth the efforts. Extremely too much paperwork. When they ask you to hand in paperwork it may be same day and have no time to finish it. Not good managing. When the managers have been there awhile they are able to treat their employees however they wish and get away with it! This is so unprofessional on so many levels! Can treat you as horrible or unethical as they wish! Does not matter to Kennametal’s HR. Seniority rules!
