Pros

Like most companies, KS has its challenges. The difference is, KS continues to try to do something about them. We help save lives every day. We are proud of what we do. There are many high performers and they usually get tag for the extra work. We continue to work on breaking down silo's and providing a productive work environment. Plenty of room for advancement if you are willing to criss/cross to different areas in the company

Cons

Probably takes too long to address low performers. Too much fear in the environment. Given so many different business units, the silo thing is a real challenge.

Pros

Mrs. Storz is generous to her people with vacation and sick days. Health insurance isn't what it used to be but that's in every company looking to make higher profits.

Cons

The Boys Club is unbelievable. The high up Directors love to take the elevator ride on the girls....and the flirting. The women who are willing to sleep around to get ahead love it. We have the worst bullying I've ever seen for managers. And they cover it up well. Directors believe everything they hear from their managers, many of whom are not qualified to be a manager....can't manage a spreadsheet. The people who punch the time clock are just numbers. There is no interest or caring about people from the management team. People on the floor are treated like animals, not humans. No one cares to acknowledge a person, Many managers don't even know their employees by name....but trash people behind their back to the supervisors! If there is an outing to attend, offered by the Director, managers complain they have to let the people attend...or complain how much it costs. mmmm not their wallet. Low morale. No incentive to do more or try to grow....tried that for years. If you look to advance your told "Well, you don't have a degree". But it is o.k. still to do the work. You just can't have the credit or the pay. It is just a job to have if you need benefits. No one really cares if you do a good job or not. Many don't and the hard workers who have a clue and who care clean up the messes and then leave.

Pros

Good paying company, full benefits, long standing private company. Very good paid training program for new employees, chance for advancement with the right qualifications.

Cons

Although they will advance from within.....if you don't have a degree, then its pretty hard to get promoted to other positions within the company, with out anyone's help. Doesn't matter if you have been there many years, and that your a good worker. Very rigid about the monthly "standards".
