Pros

Flexible work schedule Brings in lunch often for staff Friendly coworkers, numerous sports teams to join

Cons

Ladies, if you're looking for a company that values the female opinion then KLAS Enterprises isn't the place for you. The majority of women are in administrative roles and take the brunt of the workload while their male superiors enjoy weeks off before business travel, a week vacation in Mexico with company executives, and the freedom to throw their weight around without repercussions. The outspoken male is rewarded while the outspoken female is reprimanded. Unfortunately company culture defaults to the Mormon-heirachy of order because executives are old school. A woman's opinion is a suggestion or one to be considered while a man's opinion is respected and valued. In fact, at an all-staff meeting an executive shared a sexist joke that he heard while on business in the Middle East about a woman's role to her husband. At another all-staff meeting, another executive mocked a female's new hair color. Females are also told during orientation that they can't wear sleeveless shirts because they are considered immodest. There are no female executives and probably never will. Because females aren't included in decision making meetings, most males speak down to their female coworkers as if they aren't smart enough to grasp complex topics or offer good alternatives. Any man that has been with the company more than 5 years seems to be given a pass when he doesn't meet deadlines or expectations. Women are held to a strict standard. If they don't meet that standard, gossip begins to spread that the woman in question isn't passionate about the company or can't handle the workload. Obviously, this isn't a place that promotes women outside of the administrative/support roles.

Pros

The mission of the company is noble and needed. Coworkers are caring, bright, and hardworking individuals.

Cons

While the company mission is admirable, it is now consistently overshadowed by a drive for money over all, a lack of consistent messaging, and poor leadership. Tools are so far behind that leadership has placed huge bets on AI, which continues to disappoint and underwhelm. When once the company looked within for talent to train and promote, we now hire more from the outside, particularly for senior leadership, which has been disastrous for morale and culture. Layoffs have eroded trust not only because now there is too much work for everyone else to absorb (with poor tools all around), but also because our current leadership doesn’t understand the overall mission or individual and team responsibilities. Leadership messages are chaotic. Managers don’t know how to cover for senior leadership missteps, training is abysmal, and many are looking for employment elsewhere. We’ve already lost great talent, and more losses are looming.
