Pros

Good work life balance (to an extent), fancy office, free coffee/lattes are a cute perk, fun parties about once a month and always on work time, personal time parties are rare and always optional. on the surface and on the day 2 day management is nice and considerate. some of the managers who work here are amazing (and tbh can probably do better…)

Cons

do we really believe the reviews with positive talk in the “cons” section are legit and not written by HR? The pay is shameful. Always talking about how well the company is doing while underpaying them below mid-management. career advancement is only for the a** kissers. Hate to say the reviews re: nepotism are correct, if your related to the Bielawskis or a family friend you get fast-tracked, otherwise nope. A family business giving their kids opportunities is beautiful but playing favorites is just gross. shame. I say work life balance to an extent because you’ll rarely or never be looked in the eye and told you have to work late but you’ll be asked “is it possible to get this done before 8am :/“ at 4:45pm and if you say no you’re the lazy clock watcher pariah. U better not come in late but you’re a “clock watcher” if you want to leave on time!! tons more toxicity I can’t address without outing myself. oh well.

Great mid-size company in Central Indiana

Pros

Knowledge Services is a great place if you like to work for entrepreneurs that are always looking to find solutions for their customers, predominately in the government sector. The CEO is an inspiration for women in business and your coworkers can become great friends inside and outside of the office. As someone who likes to feel part of a team/family and give it my all, integrity and respect are high priorities for me when looking for a company to work for. I've always believed you shouldn't work for people you don't respect. This is what made Knowledge Services my home.

Cons

Since this is a mid-size corporation, the salary range in some departments/areas is not as competitive as a large 500+ corporation. However, there are many amenities provided that can bridge the gap. e.g. free fitness center, many company lunches and get-togethers, work from home opportunities, and a beautiful office with many different areas to work in for a change of scenery. If you've seen negative reviews on Glassdoor, don't be discouraged. I think it points to the willingness to try to improve a situation with team members (possibly for too long) rather than cutting ties when it's clear a team member is unhappy or no longer is a good fit for their role and may need to find a career somewhere they find more fulfilling.

Pros

I have gained a lot of professional experience by working here and truly feel like I am being set up for success. My team is very supportive, and we thrive on our 'All In, We Win' mentality.

Cons

I feel I am underpaid for my position when comparing to the average salary for this role.
