Uncertain Future

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Pay is typically above average, company tools and resources are generous, college reimbursement programs, good opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Management can be hit or miss but that's mostly because the company isn't always sure of where it's going or what to focus on. I've worked for KMBS twice and in both instances the company would create divisions/departments with a vision for how it'll help shape the company's future, which includes employing a lot of people or transitioning them from their current roles, only to see those divisions shut down within a few years, which of course leads to reassignments or layoffs (more often the latter). While I don't see the company going away any time soon they lack a coherent strategy for the future. As of the last few years they continue to bleed money as they grasp onto a multitude of industries to keep the lights on.

Pros

About the only pro is flexible work schedule.

Cons

1. Low pay 2. Management doesn't know what they are doing and running the business into the ground. Obsessed with corporate speak and buzz words. 3. Teased with a bonus each year but the company is doing so bad they didn't give raises or a bonus. 4. Multiple layoffs 5. They have no direction and are clueless on how to sell anything. 6. No room for growth

Covid killed a good thing

Pros

Good salary. Adequate benefits. Stellar local management. Pre-Covid: 10/10

Cons

After two rounds of Covid related layoffs our CEO completely disappeared. Turns out he is “resigning.” Morale is at an all time low.there’s no “keep hanging in there” but rather “you all must be doing something wrong, now go fill out these spreadsheets so we can track your activities ” The CRM is antiquated. They realign your territory constantly and there’s red tape everywhere. Selling something feels like a punishment when you have to redo docs several times and get approvals for every little thing. Billing is AWFUL and Corp does not respond to emails half the time which got way worse when people started working from home. I never ever thought I’d have anything negative to say about the company. The good always outweigh the bad. But Covid ruined them for me.

Loyalty - Non Existent

Business outlook

Pros

The employees are some of the best people in the world.

Cons

No loyalty to employees. I have recently been involved in what KMBS is calling layoffs, when really its strategic firings. I have seen people who have 29 years into the company being let go. People who have worked hard, especially to complete projects successfully. Its disgusting, and makes me ashamed to say I work for KMBS. This just goes to show me no matter how hard you work, and how loyal you are to KMBS, management doesn't care about you.

Pros

Konica Minolta is a good company to work for with great leadership and good employees who work for the company. Despite some miscommunication within the company when it comes to job security, the company overall is a good one.

Cons

Too many internal organizational changes which lead to layoffs in back to back years. The company let go of too many good employees who was beneficial to the success of the company with no warning or advance notice.
