Pros

Lots of work, Lots of hours and all the dirt and dust you could ever want

Cons

No matter what you do you are taking that dirt and dust home with you. Being told no raise because you only bag dirt or that the plant can be shutdown whenever they want to and move to a different area seeing that all of the equipment is built on trailer frames. Just disconnect install the trailer wheels hook up the tractor and drive away.

Pros

I can't think of any

Cons

Very old-school management style and, in my experience, lacks a strong values-driven culture. Speaking up or raising concerns was not always welcomed, and at times it felt like employees could be penalized for doing so. Management could be unprofessional, including yelling and dismissive communication. I also observed situations where women were not treated with the same level of respect or fairness. HR did not feel like a reliable resource for employees. It seemed to be involved mainly when management needed support with employee-related issues, rather than serving as a neutral function. There was also a lack of structure around performance reviews, career development, and merit-based salary increases. I would not recommend QK to someone looking for a healthy work environment, professional leadership, or clear growth opportunities.
