Pros

Career growth opportunities, quarterly bonuses and award programs, annual raises, benefits, 401K, travel opportunities, smart and loyal employees, dedicated and driven executive team, fun/open atmosphere, good work/life balance, vacation and sick leave available, etc… Kastle has provided me with fantastic growth opportunities and unique experiences to enhance my career. I see the dedication and passion that each member of the executive team has for their field of expertise and for Kastle as a whole. I firmly believe they are sincere in their commitment to making this company one of the best places to work, and are genuinely devoted to ensuring our customers receive impeccable service and latest and greatest in security technology. No matter what challenges are faced along the way, it’s important to work for a company whose leadership is focused on a mission, and equally as important, to work for people who realize it’s the employees who make achieving that mission possible. I continue to learn a great deal from my colleagues and the leadership team and am proud to be part of Kastle. As a leading national company that has undergone and embraced so much change, in such a short period of time -- while not losing sight of the 40 year legacy it has built -- Kastle is growing in a big way…and it’s exciting! In a time where many companies are cutting back, Kastle continues to invest in areas including: service, technology, marketing, current employee benefits and new talent…and last year built a brand new HQ office with big windows, bright walls and open spaces to enhance communication throughout departments. Most importantly, employees are treated as part of a team. If you are a hard worker with a positive attitude, motivated to make a constructive impact and eager to learn and grow in your profession, then Kastle would be a good fit for you. Hard work is not only noticed and appreciated…it is rewarded.

Cons

-Throughout the company, people tend to focus on the negative and negativity can be contagious. -Who ever says they don't want to be paid more? However, salary IS in line with today's market average. -Though I know the team is looking for the right person, we've been without a VP/Head of Human Resources for quite some time. This is an extremely important position for a growing and changing company, and employees need to feel comfortable with someone in that role.

Pros

* The Service Team was incredibly helpful and often served as one of the most valuable resources for learning the role.They were knowledgeable, approachable, and willing to assist when issues arose. * Exposure to a wide variety of clients and systems within the property management and access control industry. * Friendly coworkers and opportunities to gain industry experience.

Cons

* Training within the Multi-Family division was highly inconsistent and lacked structure. During my time with the company, there was no dedicated training program tailored to Multi-Family operations. New employees received generic onboarding and were expected to learn many role-specific responsibilities through LinkedIn Learning courses, word of mouth, and by repeatedly asking Customer Success Managers for guidance. Who many times would tell you to figure it out yourself. *Only the former CSM was actively updating materials and new information coming in. Once she left it was always the answer of “oh yes so and so would update that”. Ok who is doing it now!? * This approach was especially difficult because every client has unique requirements, workflows, and exceptions that are not adequately covered through generic training. * There was a contradictory culture surrounding questions and training. I was frequently encouraged to ask questions, but when questions were asked, the response was often frustration or being told to “figure it out yourself.” At the same time, if employees attempted to work independently without asking questions, they could also be criticized for not seeking guidance. This created confusion and made it difficult for new employees to know what was expected of them. * Management and communication within parts of the team could be improved. Some interactions felt unnecessarily confrontational or passive-aggressive rather than constructive and focused on development. * Accountability was inconsistent, with process and training deficiencies often being overlooked while responsibility was placed on individual employees. *Accountability and performance management appeared to be applied inconsistently. When I made mistakes, they were often addressed through formal one-on-one discussions and corrective conversations. However, similar mistakes made by others were sometimes treated more casually or brushed off. This created a perception of unequal standards and made it difficult to understand what expectations were being applied across the team. *As a temporary employee, I was frequently told that permanent hiring was “in process,” yet there appeared to be little meaningful movement toward conversion. The repeated assurances without clear timelines or updates created unrealistic expectations and left employees feeling strung along.
