Vantaggi

None at this time. Kronos spends so much time and money trying to "look good" that they neglect the actual employees. They could just invest their time and money into their employees and hiring the right people to run things, but that would be too much work. Anyone who has worked for Kronos knows the leaders do not want to do work...at all.

Svantaggi

I will break the CONS into two sections. First the issues of working for this company, and second, why Kronos is having such a detrimental impact on the US economy. Working for Kronos: - Very little opportunity to advance internally, especially if you are good at your job. You will not be promoted out of a job you are good at as the company will not want to lose you in that role. -You will be forced to report to someone who cannot do your job, but insists they are the expert. Kronos shuns the idea that you should be able to do the job of the people you lead. -The executive team is embarrassing plain and simple. Nothing is done at the executive level to help the company. Only whining and wine-ing (criers and alcoholics). -High turnover. I had 13 bosses in 3 years. They job hop out of the company as soon as they realize the companies outlook. -This software company is inundated with non technical baby boomers. It is a software company where very few people in the company know the software (or are even capable of learning it due to being non technical.) So many worthless jobs have been added for these people to fill just increasing the amount of work value add employees have to do to keep it all afloat. -Kronos forges and falsifies employee feedback scores/ratings/reviews. Many of the positive glassdoor reviews are fake reviews left by the Kronos PR team. -Kronos realizes it cannot do "software" on its own. Many other companies take Kronos work and do it BETTER. They do it BETTER because they are not Kronos. Kronos is realizing this and will likely lay off their software implementers. -Kronos rewards the wrong departments. Sales are overly praised and the software/other areas of the company are hurt because of it. Its 2016, software sales = website, not people. Most of our customers are probably frustrated they have to deal with a non technical sales person at all. Stop throwing all of your eggs in the sales basket and give services/engineering some help. Kronos and the economy: -Sending jobs to overseas partners. -Purposely stays "Cash Rich" keeping the money out of circulation in the economy. -Buys up small players constantly to destroy innovation/competition. None of these companies survive after being bought.

Vantaggi

There was once a great company named Ultimate Software, it was destroyed by a hostile takeover from H&F, a private equity firm, and a merger with Kronos to become UKG. There are very few Pros since that time.

Svantaggi

When this company was Ultimate Software, prior to the takeover from H&F and the merger with Kronos, it was a world class company with top shelf people. The company Motto was "People First" and they truly lived by that motto, never a layoff, great working environment and stealer benefits. Since the takeover and subsequent merger with Kronos, to become UKG this company has taken a path of "Money First", which is understandable given the greedy nature of Private Equity Firms like H&F. They have systematically closed most of the offices across the US and have been expanding their footprint in Noida India, for obvious reasons. The leadership that has been put in place by H&F is clearly focused on IPO. And we all know what that means, clean up the books and make the company look as good on paper as possible. Can you say "Lipstick on a Pig". This was once a great company when it was run by Scott and Viv but now it has gone the way of the Private Equity management and is heading for a great fall.
