Pros

Administration and other sales staff are fun to work with.

Cons

Field employees are union receive 4-5% raises each year. Due to competition prices for maintenance services remain unchanged or lower than previous year. This results in cost cutting which results in reduction in office staff, support staff, and increasing the workload on field employees. Competition from non union companies continues to increase. Sales representative are given unrealistic budget expectations. High level of turnover with sales representatives.

The pay seems to be better than most places to work. Once a year KONE has big meeting to network around the country. KONE is a place if you are liked by Management that you can be on the fast tract moving up the company ladder. The commisson also seems to be in line with other companies you can work for.

Cons

There is a unrealistic expection on the amount of hours required to work. If you are not in the club you are not going to move up in the company. If you don't move up in the company you will get fired or forced out.
