Pros

I had some of the best coworkers of my life. It was the people who were there before the outsourcing that made this a great place to work.

Cons

The major outsourcing was devastating to such a massive collection of employees across all departments. People spent their entire career at KC banking on their retirement plans. Heart breaking to see good people’s lives suddenly turned upside down at 20, 30, 40, 50 years old. For years (perhaps decades), KC used be rated as top places to work including reasons like great benefits, work life balance, and virtually no turnover. People learned a hard reality lesson in company loyalty.
