Pros

-If you lack technical skills and do not want to work, you will be coddled here and will collect a pay check.

Cons

---I Gurantee you most of the glassdoor reviews are our recruiters continually making new accounts and posting false employee reviews. The culture and hapiness level in this company is not what these reviews imply--- 1. Executive Leadership/Management is so disconnected from the product, process, and customer needs, they only provide negative value. Not zero value, negative value. 2. If you are skilled you will be overworked as it is easier for the uninformed executive team to pile on work to those who can do it and avoid those who do not. You will not be compensated for your additional work. 3. Nobody in a management/leadership position for Kronos WFR has ever implemented the product. They probably cannot even log in. 4. Management cannot help their employees with 98% of their problems as they do not have the knowledge, experience, or skill. 5. Plain and simple Kronos is drowning in the idea that "You do not need to be able to assist or do the job of the people you manage." 6. You will never move up in the company as they will always hire external resources with no experience that spend 8-10 months learning/making bad decisions just to then jump ship when they realize how broken Kronos WFR is. 7. People are quitting left and right even though they do not have a backup job just to get out of the toxic environment. 8. Company consistently plays favorites (yes I know this happens in all companies) but unfortunately the "favorites" have inverse relations to value they add. 9. Did I mention the executive leadership is quite clueless? It's just a bunch of drinkers who hired their buddies who now just sit on a raft drinking mojitos on the back of those who actually provide value. 10. Leadership is stuck in the 1990's and throws around buzz word terms in an attempt to seem "hip". 11. Honestly WFR will probably be sold as Kronos seems to show no interest in supporting the branch. That or mass layoffs. 12. CEO never makes visits, doesn't know what is going on, spends much of his time making pointless "Aron at Work" videos constantly going off on how great a work environment his company is.....This is not the case. 13. The company falsifies employee ratings/surveys. When an entire location rates a survey negatively (communally) and then they turn around and claim we scored in the 99 percentile on our ratings, you know something is fishy.....

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.
