      Pros

      Benefit package. Employee owned,. Fellow employees were very nice.

      Cons

      LONG HOURS (10+ hr days, 6 days a week for the entire time I was there). Poor production planning. Low pay when compared to similar companies. My location was not profitable and both corporate and local management placed the blame on the employees production. Management seems disconnected from the reality of daily operations as they don't provide required equipment for a job in a timely manner (poor preparation/planning).

      Pros

      Everyday was a different experience. Dealing with a different problem every minute of the day. Most of the people were great to work with as is the case in any job.

      Cons

      The most difficult part was dealing with the corporate group that felt they controlled everything when in reality they made every interaction more difficult.

      Pros

      Kurt is employee owned, so people work together to solve problems and improve the products.

      Cons

      The pay is on the low side. I left because I couldn't afford to work there.

      Thank you for sharing your insights on glassdoor! Because we value our Employee Owners , Kurt takes pay and benefits seriously. In addition to our comprehensive medical, dental and vision coverage, we offer a wide array of other benefits including life insurance, short and long term disability, critical illness, accident and hospital indemnity, wellness benefits, tuition reimbursement and a 401K plan. Kurt also rewards employee with company shares every year as part of the ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). This enables its Employee Owners to gain in their ownership stake in the company while building a nest egg in preparation for retirement. Because these benefits and competitive, market based pay, Kurt’s turnover is one of the lowest in the industry.
