Pros

You get to work from home, they pitch in a few bucks for your Internet costs. Instead of a Christmas party or bonus you get a gift card. And you get to clock in and out just like you did when you were in High School and had that part-time summer job.

Cons

As has been pointed out age discrimination is a very real thing. They have become super heavy on the management side and to this point have been firing workers left and right. Hard work and product knowledge mean little, and it is clear that the venture capital company that bought them a year ago is looking to cut costs so that it becomes attractive to sell off later.

KinderSystems Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Working remotely from home can be a positive experience for a lot of employees, but you are correct that it makes holiday celebrations more challenging. We are happy to announce our second annual all company retreat has been scheduled for next spring, where just like last year, we will spend time celebrating in person as a team. To address your comments about clocking in and out, all nonexempt hourly employees are required to clock in and clock out to ensure we pay you correctly, including overtime pay. The federal government sets guidelines about which roles should be classified as exempt or nonexempt but you are welcome to reach out to me if you have questions about how your role is classified. At KinderSystems we do not make any employment decisions based on age, and we’re proud of the diversity of our employee population. Over this last year we have focused on not only creating the framework to support our growth, but also on the employee experience. We have grown our leadership and management teams to ensure that all of our employees have the support and guidance they need to meet their goals. We have implemented a 401(k) with a company match, created a more generous PTO policy, and improved company health and wellness benefits. If you have additional concerns you are welcome to reach out to me directly at kbyers@kindersystems.com. Thanks, Kate Byers VP of People
