Vantaggi
Some good people work there... usually not for long. The products, while highly over-priced, seem to be good quality.
Svantaggi
Where to begin. The entire company is based on lies. They lied to me to get me to come on board, and then asked me to lie to others to get them to come on board. This is the same strategy for all their positions (with the exception of installers). If you as an employee begin to figure out the system and start making some money, they change the deal. Extremely high pressure (if you wanna get paid at least). They use statistics in their sales pitches that are skewed substantially (i.e. "The average saleperson who has been with the company for 2 years makes a 6 figure income." That is true. Of course what they don't tell you is that there are less than 10 sales people who have been there more than 2 years, out of a sales force of four or five hundred. Also, that the average duration of a sales career at K is 3-9 months because most can't afford the travel costs since they aren't making squat. That leads to massive turn-over! Here is how things work: Recruiters lie to candidates with misleading statistics to get them in for an interview. Managers lie to candidates about what they will make to get them to start work. Call center reps lie to potential customers to set appointments because that is how they get paid. Sales reps lie to potential customers to try to make a sale. Customers end up pissed off because they realize they were lied to, OR the eventual sucker buys the overpriced product. When I interviewed, the manager and assistant manager who hired me, both quit in the week between my interview and my start date. The new manager (VP's son-in-law) started a month after I did. When I was hired I told them I was only available Mon-Fri. 3 months into my employment, I was informed that I had to work Saturdays as well, and if I couldn't we could "Shake hands and part as friends." Apparently, they expected me to agree, because when I came back and gave my notice, they started back-pedaling like crazy and told me "Just say you will work Saturdays, and then be sick every Saturday." Gives you a good idea of the culture there.
