Pros

- The people are all amazing individuals not only to work with, but to actually befriend - In order to complete certain tasks, you are required to learn many different skills - this is great for experience - Benefits are great and they start right away

Cons

Here's why I'm not there: - The CEO couldn't care less for his employee's. He walks around like an untouchable, and god forbid you try to strike up a conversation not work related. - The environment is terrible, many are stressed - Technology? What is technology at K&F? - There are no training protocols and those who start are expected to pick up the ever changing processes quickly - HR is sending out emails about cell phone use and dress code - K&F is a small family owned business, you're not kidding anyone. - No work at home privileges... Obviously except for upper management - The building is like, 100 years old... It's time to move out and get a bigger place. It's bursting at the seams. - High turn over because of the company

Pros

nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing

Cons

the ppl working here have no idea how to run and manage effective teams. they also insist on doing things in office that can easily be done remotely. they do not respect employee feedback. they are clearly without confidence in themselves as managers and feel the need to micromanage you to feel important.

Pros

- Organization celebrated it's centennial birthday - Can be a relaxed atmosphere depending on what department you're in - Strong industry presence in Canada - CEO understands the business and is a proven winner

Cons

- Annual raises are well below the cost of inflation so you'll lose money working here in the long-run - HR continually hires questionable individuals in key senior leadership roles which results in chaos and under performance. Finding the right talent for an organizational need is critical, and when a company's HR team is unable to perform, the entire organization suffers. - If you're ambitious and know your worth, don't stay here. Technology is archaic - Penny Pinching mentality - Directors/VPs are mostly trying to cut budgets and squeeze more out of their teams to make themselves stand out against their predecessors. The results are compensation has fallen significantly behind industry standards. Departments may believe it's saving the company money with reduced payouts, but it also drives away top talent and makes the organization unable to attract intelligent individuals who can take the organization to the next level
