Pros

The management team when I was there was a very solid group. Usually the only time there was true disfunction was when the members changed. Could have been from firing or choice to leave.

Cons

The salaries of managers are less at Kone than in the marketplace. Yet, the expectations of user management are greater than those of equal levels in different industries.

Pros

Pay and Benefits. Nothing else.

Cons

Incredibly toxic work place. Supervisors will undermine your abilities and hinder all your learning processes throughout your career. You will constantly feel as though you don't know what you are doing or talking about because management will make you feel like you don't. No support from management. Heavy micro- management and control. Don't be fooled by the "independence" in sales, you may have a manager who makes you come into the office even though the company doesn't require it. Processes and data entry that will take time away from selling. Very slow career progression. Absolutely no control in terms of customer satisfaction as you will not schedule the job or order parts. Everything will be your fault even though you zero control over everything but selling. You will feel like you are doing everything with customer coordination because it is acceptable for supervisors to not answer their phone or emails. KONE provides a car stipend but no gas card. You will be spending your own money to visit clients.
