Pros

Great medical benefits - you’ll need them to work at Kronos.

Cons

Upper management isn’t listening to the needs of support teams. You can’t expect a new hire to immediately close hundreds of cases a month when issues are complex, partners/development hold onto them for months, then support reps are held responsible for not closing cases timely. Clients aren’t properly trained to use Kronos products and neither are we. No internal training is provided; it’s been brought to upper management several times over the past two years with no action taken. Processes aren’t clearly defined. Communications are not accurate or sent out timely. There’s no work-life balance for anyone in support. Teams that were allowed to work remote are no longer permitted to, yet Kronos posts articles on LinkedIn about supporting employees being remote. All focus has been on metrics and the expectations of upper management are unrealistic. Support members get sick every other month because the environment is so hostile and toxic. Metrics are great to measure progress but upper management has lost sight of human beings making up those metrics. One executive is notorious for dehumanizing support teams and needs to be removed from Kronos. They’re not leadership material and they aren’t respected by lower management or support teams because we’ve all been set up for failure.

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
