Frontier-Kemper-Constructors

A job where you can learn and grow. The work day is a constant change from one minute to the next, due to the underground conditions. One day you can be setting steel archs and the next pouring concrete. 

In the time i worked for frontier- kemper- tudor pereni i learned and devopled job skills that if performed correctly help in the safety of everyone in the slope or shaft. 

As in any constrution job you have a wide pool of employment and a chance to not only teach what you have learned but teach the new hires as well. the extent of thier job preformance is based on what and how you where taught.

I have found that the hardest part of any job is balanceing home life with your work life. 

The most enjoyable part of my time with Frontier-kemper was meeting new people and learning new skills. seeing a hole in the ground and walking into it knowing that what we do is a awesome display of craftsmanship and talent, along with a desire to leave the job site that day the same way you came to work.

Work-life balance
If you have a family I would not recommend working here they do a lot of sketchy work especially when it comes to handling explosives a lot of people on drugs work for them and are in charge and want you to do dangerous things

Job security and advancement
They will do anything to make you look bad in front of management

Culture
A lot of people from out of town who look down on people from West Virginia and Kentucky

Overall
Very hard company to work for they expect you to work 12 hr shifts 7 days a week 
The benefits they offer are the worst I have ever seen in the mining or construction industry 
Worked with a supervisor who would openly drink and do drugs on the worksite 
If you would try to give advice on a problem on the job the upper management would look at you and tell you to shut up because your opinion doesn’t matter

I work at the Century Mine in Volga Wv. I risk my life every day for $18.00 an hr, only to come into work and get belittled & talked about like garbage over the radio by the Super Int. Neto Vasquez. Meanwhile the “Favorites” get to socialize, call off, show up late, and basically pick their own hours all while making $27 to $29 per hour. But cannot apply any of the experience they claim to have because it doesn’t exist except for on paper. Employees are lied to on a regular basis. Blamed for the smallest, most insignificant incidents, and taken advantage of. Plus, they care much more about production than their employees safety. Everything is put together haphazardly with bandaids & bubblegum. Since I’ve worked for this company in the past 3 months I have never felt more disrespected or taken advantage of.

All members of the crew always had a good attitude and was willing to learn on a daily basis. We made sure that all crews understood the importance of Safety. Always bettered ourselves from what OSHA & MSHA  required for a safe work enviroment. That included Health and enviromental. Crews always took care of one another to avoid Incidents and Accidents. Co. cared a lot for their employees and that made all employees feel that they were part of the bigger picture.

A typical work day for me was servicing any equipment that tore up, pre maintenance, making sure al the equipment was in good working order. I learned good communication skills working for FK. The management there was great to work for. My co-workers and I got along good they were great to work with and pulled their own weight. The hardest part of the job was dealing with outside elements. The most enjoyable part about the job was there was never a dull moment there was always something that needed to be fabricated and be done.

I love the daily challenge of keeping the job running. Never know what management will throw in the mix. I always walk about when I have time to think ahead so I have plan "B" in my shirt pocket just in case. The solution to issues are usually simple. Given the manpower and materials (always try to keep some spares on hand and maintain good relations with the lads), I can pretty much keep the job going so long as I'm kept in the loop of what's down the pike.

Loud few dominate the job site.  The upper management doesn't care about the workers at all.  Kissing up to the bosses is the way to get ahead here.  Example, PM's favorite person on the site goes to his house and cooks for him and his guests at night.  And the people who are knowledgeable are ignored and silenced because doing the job right is not valued at all here.  Managers refer to themselves as "King" and "God" and dismiss any opinions that don't line up with theirs.

It was good until Tutor Perini became the parent company. Tutor Perini's policy is that no annual raise can be given to an employee if he/she stay at the same position. To get a raise, the employee has to move to a higher positon or just move on to another company. Employees should anticipate no raise for many years if staying at the same position.

Apprentice to the onsite Industrial Electrician,
Typical day would be to handle any maintenance on onsite of said coal mining facility and day to day laboring needs, such as running electrical cable for various equipment and lighting,power supply and station..480v and 280v,120,,and low voltage for security.

Ever since they were bought out by a bigger company, Frontier Kemper has been going downhill. Management is all about who knows who, and the company is all false promises and benefits being taken away. They pretend to be safety conscious but they couldn't care less.
