KCSA has an employee rating of 3.3 out of 5 stars, based on 36 company reviews on Glassdoor which indicates that most employees have a good working experience there. The KCSA employee rating is in line with the average (within 1 standard deviation) for employers within the Media and communication industry (3.7 stars).
KCSA is a great place to learn and grow your network within the micro cap space. From my perspective, it is a decent meritocracy, where responsibility is given if you can handle it, raises/promotions can happen at any time based on performance. It is a fairly autonomous environment, but a lot of experienced people to learn from. If you are proactive, you can achieve a work/life balance that suits you. Partners are open to hearing your perspective and really consider the employees when making decisions.
Cons
Lack of structure could lead to blurred lines of responsibility. Could potentially have 5-6 managers based on how your accounts are staffed. Not too many vacation days. Since it's a loose structure, whoever is the lead on most of your accounts can significantly impact your experience, for better or worse. However, most account leads are respectful of time and provide support where needed.

The transparency from the higher ups has been great since working from home and there is a lot of potential for company culture moving forward.

Few growing pains and a start up feel in certain departments but after process was put in place and executed the kinks worked themselves out.
