Growth for Growth's Sake is Just Cancer

Pros

-If you're lucky to end up with one of their better middle managers, it can be a good place to attain some more technical skills and launch a career. -There's some genuinely wonderful people that work for this company and have nothing but your best interests in mind, but they're leaving in droves, either voluntarily or to make room for people that are probably lower on the pay grade. -Good benefits for how low the pay is.

Cons

-Get ready to make 80% of your market value! -Senior management is largely a sycophantic collection of '80s MBA washouts waiting for retirement. They're good at pointing fingers, demanding the impossible of their direct reports, making rhetorical quips about the "family" environment, and aren't particularly good at their jobs. -All about growth with none of the benefits of being in a fast growth company unless you're in sales or senior management. -Wild departmental double-standards in spite of all the "synergy" management speaks about. -Office politics x1000. -Absolute mess at headquarters. Can't hit sales numbers, can't collect invoices, and client cancellations are going up, but it's full steam ahead nonetheless! -More emphasis on buying competitors than providing good services to clients.

Pros

Some of the people are quite nice

Cons

The software they create is truly abysmal (goes down, as in no one can access it at all, at least twice a month). There are no defined processes or procedures for how to complete any task. There is no 'onboarding' program for new hires. The benefits are very bad; a coworker with two kids and a wife who also works had to stop getting health insurance because it was too expensive (no preexisting conditions or anything, just very expensive for families) The pay is well below market-average for similar job titles The customer success department has not had a Director for close to one year, as no one wants to take that job for such low pay. The internal 'data' they have on customers is terrible; approximately 20% of clients do not even have a signed contract on file for the services they receive and pay for Management either does not care about these problems, or are too burned out to do anything about it. Morale is VERY VERY LOW. Constant internally bickering. A very toxic environment has been created here, and no disciplinary action is taken when people are clearly out of line You will not be promoted or receive a decent raise if you work here. Over a 12 month period there was not a single internal promotion. Your yearly 'merit increase' will be between 1% and 3%. With inflation, you can expect to make less money every single year you are employed here. HR is well aware of these issues and actively recommended I write a review on Glassdoor in the hopes an executive would finally understand the issues plaguing the company. I really cannot express enough how disorganized things are here. Turnover is insanely high; people will quit working here in the middle of a pandemic with no back up plan in place, simply because they cannot put up with the level of disfunction and incompetence. Working at KPA was, truly, the largest regret from my professional life.

Thank you for your feedback. Input from employees, current and former, satisfied and otherwise, is vital in making KPA everything we want it to be. While some of the statements laid out above are inaccurate, we certainly appreciate your perceptions. KPA is constantly working to improve our products, employee experience, and ability to adapt to the changing world of work. Our software, data integrity and internal procedures are top priorities. KPA regularly assesses total compensation as compared to other companies of similar size, type, and location, and adjustments are made to keep us competitive. And while many companies struggled during the pandemic, KPA adapted to the new work environment, supported our clients and employees, and developed services to support them. The company and its employees continue to redefine what it means to work at KPA, and there is always room to grow and ways to be better.
