Konecranes Employee Reviews for Crane Technician

"Do not work for this company. Deep structural problems. I had worked for them for eight years when I was let go. Current local management came from a fire alarm company (knows nothing about the industry) and was actually getting mad at us for not following his new rules, which were against company policy and OSHA code. We were working 80+ hour weeks due to poor planning; no breakdowns during that time, just normal 40 hour stuff. The Richmond, VA branch has been through 6 branch managers, 5 service supervisors, and 3 salesmen in 5 years. Deep management trouble. Also, horrible management ethics. If they don't like you, you'll only get 20-25 hours of work a week. They talk nice, but will stab you in the back in a heartbeat. I have already seen it play out 3 times."
