Pros

First off, it's just fun to be part of a winning team! We offer a great culture -- Yes, we work hard and there's plenty of work to do, but we are treated as professionals and understand you have a life outside of work. Challenging work/opportunities to grow -- You won't just come to Kronos for a job, you'll come here for a career! In a growing organization, there are always opportunities for interested people to learn and grow. I've even seen some people move cross functionally. These are just a few of the pro's....I could go on and on!

Cons

Not a lot of cons here. I guess for people who want to be close to the action of working in Boston or Cambridge, Chelmsford is not a mecca of activity and nightlife. Still we are commuting distance from those areas and do have employees who like to live in the city but don't mind commuting to Chelmford because we're so great!

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
