Pros
“Wear many hats” mentality due to limited staff. Good opportunity to take risks and grow yourself if you have a good manager. Nice to have a gym downstairs with great classes and trainers. Everyone is young and hungry.
Cons
Favoritism from upper leadership is ridiculous. Many women in upper leadership were laid off the past 3 years. No culture to speak of. Expectations and work loads are completely ridiculous for the pay and title. A lot of people got pushed out because they didn’t fit in and refused to play politics (even though they were very successful in their jobs and were talented). Not friendly or flexible to work-life balance or people with families. Poor communication from upper leadership. Middle management is horrific, they don’t actually support but are overpaid and keep getting promoted. People with less workloads who fit in were paid $20k more than those who were not favored and had way more work. KP preaches values and team work, yet management doesn’t follow through and it’s a dog eat dog world. Going to HR about any issues with management is a death sentence. Having been there for almost a decade, it has gone downhill real quick the past 2-3 years. The loyalty to long-time employees is non existent and they just keep hiring under qualified cheap young kids and just promoting the leaders who aren’t good managers. Management takes advantage of lack of oversight from VP level and disappears for days with no communication, but then it is expected of you to be present all day every day at your desk. Turnover rate used to be non existent and it is now 1 in every 3 people. 85% of the people I worked with when I started are now gone.
