      The absolute worst working experience of my life!

      Pros

      There are no pros working for this company.

      Cons

      The company inundates employees with compliance training and MBM training (culture). Basically, if you do not comply with the brainwashing to think and act exactly as they want you to, then you're not a fit for their culture. People with ideas, a backbone, intelligence, and common sense will not fit in with the culture. Thinking differently is not allowed. If you disagree with anyone or stand up for yourself, you're let go. The company pushes their political agenda on employees and want employees to donate a portion of their salary for political campaign contributions. Health benefits offered are horrible. The employee pays for the majority of the premium and the company does not pay any towards life insurance, AD&D, or disability. The company only offers a small 401(k) match after being there for a year. There are no incentives or perks like relaxed dress on Fridays - jeans are strictly prohibited. They do not offer telecommuting - you cannot work from home. The company is not fun and does very little in motivating its employees. KBS doesn't care if employees are happy - they are only focused on working and compliance. The turnover rate is really high - the company should be embarrassed.

      Pros

      Salary is fair and on the high end

      Cons

      Culture - they don't practice what they preach Micromanagement (even by people who aren't your manager) No Pay raises - subjective bonuses No work life balance - always getting called when you are on vacation/ sick Says that the team is a "family" and gets upset when you won't share your personal life Director shows favoritism towards employees No room for advancement in Houston office, you have to be in Corporate to be able to move anywhere
