#1 2015-2016 Goal
They listed improve the financial bottom line. Seriously?
#2 2015-2016 Goal
Employee engagement. Yep, that is par for the course listing your employees 2nd.
Upper Management
You never see these guys. Some are in Chicago and others just don't make their faces known. It is a huge miss from what we had a year ago when they were actually trying to turn this place around.
Middle Management
Most of these guys/gals will actually care about you as a person, but they have no actual power to do anything positive for your career. Unfortunately some of them might tell you otherwise to entice you to stay.
PTO
PTO for anyone working there less than 5 years is terrible at 10 days pto/sick.
Insurance
Insurance got worse this last year (helping that bottom line)
Dental even got lowered on the quality of coverage
Standard Office Items
They down graded their coffee that is free to employees before I left. So everyone had to start buying and bringing in their own coffee makers, coffee, and K-cups.
Game room is listed as a perk, but you won't have time to use it. If you do you will be a slacker.
If you need good office supplies or monitors or even a chair you literally have to wait for someone to quit and claim their stuff. Not kidding.
2015 Reviews and Raises
This was the snowball in my opinion. After change upon change the company average raise was below 4%. HR did a horrible job promoting this as performance based raises when really it was barely even a cost of living raise to cover insurance changes. If you had a great year with no negative marks your raise was still garbage.
Promotions
They hang this over employees heads since most people are younger and working hard to get more money.
The New Name
Weeks after recovering from the raise announcements employees were invited (required) to attend an all company meeting at Sporting KC Park. Upper management announced a new brand for the company. How did they chose this brand you ask? They said that an outside company was paid to help them come up with the name. Could have used that money for raises and asked your talented staff to come up with new brand ideas!
Cubicles
They are not cubicles they are 6 person pods. So each pod has 6 desks in it. If you hate the people you sit with your job will be that much more fun.
Shocked by the Reviews on Glassdoor
Either current staff/management are posting positive reviews to help with recruiting or more people are asleep to what is going on there than I thought.
OPM Division
Sinking thousands of dollars into this part of the company trying to mirror what some of the current upper management did at their last company. From all the updates I ever heard it seems like a huge cluster.
CEO Response to My Review
Don't say I should have come talked to you. You were hardly ever in KC and it would have done nothing but anger my bosses that I went straight to you with problems. Clearly noted concerns were not getting to your desk or you weren't doing anything with them. You will say that you guys are trying hard with employees, but the place sucked to work at.
Investment Company
Keypath Education is owned by an investment firm. When investment firms want there money back what do you think happens? 1. Budget Cuts 2. Poor Raises 3. Stop back filling positions 4 Reduce spending anywhere possible 5. Layoffs (maybe someday?)
