Thank you for posting your thoughts on glassdoor! We are glad that you’ve chosen to join the Kurt team again. As you know, Kurt is unique because we are diverse enough to provide a variety of opportunities for growth while being small enough to maintain a culture where our employees are can thrive. As you noted, however, our best feature is our people. Employee Owners make all the difference!
