Pros

Kin Living is a relatively small company in Portland that is actively growing that alone shows how good Kin is. I've read a few negative reviews and noticed they all seem similar and from a disgruntled ex employee stand point. Which is fine, that happens. In my opinion when you work for any company you need to have good work ethic, flexibility, adept and quick to learn/have computer skills. When you don't have these assets it's harder to move up or be noticed ANYWHERE. From my experience with Kin, having started at a front desk, they are very supportive and recognize hard work. I love the work I do and the challenges that come with property management that help expand my knowledge and capabilities. I also enjoy my co workers who do so much, at Kin there is no job too small or beneath management who will step in as concierge if needed.

Cons

Covid-19 shook us but Kin is flexible and got through it together.

Pros

I cannot fault the great employees at the base of this business, they are all amazing, hard working and incredible people. They keep the business running from the bottom with little recognition, respect or value.

Cons

This business was once a thriving family environment where everyone knew everybody’s names, there was laughter and respect, reward and recognition. The senior managers of every department were incredible people who valued their teams and knew the business well. Unfortunately those days are long gone, despite them advertising roles with a “family feel”. I believe this business no longer places value on the incredible staff they have, causing many long term staff to leave the business. Some new senior managers no longer take the time to get to know their teams or advocate for their needs. They are swiftly moving away from hybrid working despite employees advising this is not what they need for a work life balance and despite them claiming they still want staff to have flexibility. It is terrible to see what was once a fantastic place to work take such a terrible turn, please keep this in mind when they tell you all the benefits of working for them. It may be right for you, but for many this is simply not a long term healthy role.

Pros

Great company, great CEO and great people that work within the business who really care about the business and want for it to succeed. The company has some amazing perks; breakfast bar, paid parental leave and WFH work model. If you have a chance to work for King, please do so the team is amazing! I wish the business only the best.

Cons

Let me start that it pains me to write this but people must be made aware of the extremely hostile work environment within the team I worked in, which caused a toxic work environment. Members in the team would be talking about each other behind their backs. Management barely communicated between each other, while talking behind the teams back. Managers not being able to manage their own workload and emails, or respond to emails when you need support or a response to an issue but happy to advise of poor performance when something was not completed. Poor training if any training was provided at all, you were mean't to know things or understand the workflow when there was no workflows!!! The most toxic work environment I have worked in, which is probably why 2 people resigned in March from a team of 5.
