Pros

One of the best things about KPP is that they pay well. Also, for salaried employees, they have a pretty good policy when it comes taking sick and personal days off. Vacation time is just like anywhere else. You get the standard two (2) weeks off duiring your first five years there.

Cons

From January 2013 to the present time, KPP has specialized in micromanaging people to a degree which has never been seen since the dawn of time. Also, the 2013 year end reviews for most people were very punitive in nature. The morale of this place is at an all-time low and the prospects of it getting any better are slim to none.

Company outlook is terrible...

Pros

Unfortunately, there isn't much left that the company has going for it at the Bloomfield Headquarters.

Cons

Lack of sustainable work and inability to win new contracts because of an aging and very expensive workforce will eventually lead to the closing of the CT Composites and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) divisions at the Bloomfield Campus. The total disconnect between management and non-management has led to a void of meaningful communication and understanding between the two groups. This, in turn, has cultivated an atmosphere of discontent amongst non-management personnel and a feeling that management is dismissive of their needs and opinions or even that management simply doesn't care. Lastly, the two divisions are running on a skeleton workforce where the average employee's age is over 50 and most of those employees have been with the company for at least 10 years! While some people may find this a "pro", in the manufacturing industry - where contracts usually go to the lowest bidder - an old workforce is actually a hindrance to winning new long-term work!
