Pros

Plenty of overtime if you want it Good health insurance and wellness program Employee discounts on company products

Cons

I have never been treated so poorly in my life. Nepotism is rampant, and there is absolutely no room for advancement unless you have a certain last name. I was assaulted by a fellow employee, and management threatened to demote me when I brought it to their attention. Management is constantly hiring and promoting felons and drug offenders in the factory and warehouse. Mass firings around profit-sharing time and holidays, to avoid paying hard-earned bonuses and holiday pay. Floor supervisors are out of touch and will do anything to get their performance bonuses.

KLN Family Brands Response

Unfortunately we cannot go back and make corrections to this former employee's response. I can tell you that two months into my role at KLN that I have discovered a team of outstanding HR people who are dedicated to making a great experience for our employees. There have been many new roles added since this post which promote more professionalism care of our people. I am amazed at the generosity of the Nelson family and their positive impact to our communities our employees come from.
