Pros

Kronos has great products and has a strong management team. The company continues to do well and you can see how your contributions impact the company.

Cons

While senior management is strong, middle management can be more caught up in CYA than in getting things done. It seemed like no one wanted to let the CEO know what was going wrong, because how it may make them look instead of solving the problems and moving on.

The people (colleagues) at Kronos are great. Senior Management is quite friendly with employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Stability as it's been in operation for over 30 years. Year over year growth is comforting especially during these economic times. The employees are great, the Executive Board is quite personal (those that have been with the company since the beginning).

Cons

Salary and bonus compensation are less than similar companies. This used to be more acceptable as there was a work/life balance and an overwhelming sense of teamwork. Since the company has gone private, there seems to be more work with fewer people to do it and the culture has changed. There is a sense of tension and emphasis on making the company profitable.

Business Outlook

Pros

No body else will hire you. Your love of timeclocks. Kronos is a steady employer. The problem is that they do not offer a pay for performance environment so the longer you stay the less you get paid in real dollars if you are an overachiever.

Cons

Poor pay. Cronyism. Execs out of touch with reality.Senior management has no formal business training and has botched one acquisition after the next. It is not the acquisition, but the follow through that leads to success. They are too tied to their past success in selling clocks to make any progress since they fear losing out to new ways of thinking.
