Pros

I have been working for Kronos for almost 17 years. The environment is dynamic which means you'll never be bored the only constant is change, because we are always growing and finding new challenges to overcome. I was part of a company which Kronos acquired and the horizons of the product that I support have expanded dramatically both in terms of multiple verticals that have been added and the geographic dimension which is now international. I have been able to freely communicate with people at all levels and management within the organization. The company regularly surveys employees on satisfaction and genuinely cares about how engaged the employees are because they understand the relationship between employee engagement and customer satisfaction and it is that commitment that has allowed us to generate the levels of customer satisfaction that we do. I work from home as part of a group in the Tampa office. My immediate supervisor is a wonderful woman who has been very supportive of me, as I in addition to my Kronos work am the primary caregiver to my 93-year-old mother, which I am able to balance with my Kronos work only because of the support of my supervisors. It was my good fortune in my early career to of work for some terrible companies, so that when I had the opportunity to come to work for Kronos, I truly appreciated how special place it is. It is a company I would highly recommend to anyone who is seeking employment. At this point as I have told my boss on more than one occasion I'm here to stay unless somebody votes me off the island.

Cons

The only issue is that sometimes the need for frequent status reports on escalated issues becomes overwhelming and can slow down the progress in resolving issues, but it is part of the corporate culture to keep everyone informed at all times.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
