Kitco Metals Response
10y
We value and consider all feedback from past and current employees, as it is a way for us to improve as an employer. Employee satisfaction is one of our highest priorities. The majority of our leadership and management team have been with Kitco for many years, and we are proud of the highly skilled people we have in place. It is through their leadership and the entire staff’s commitment and expertise that made 2015 a very successful year. I would just like to clarify an important point. Kitco is in dispute with the Agence du Revenue du Quebec in regards to a tax assessment and continues to vigorously contest every aspect of it. You can find further details about this in our Press Releases section of our corporate website. If you have any questions or would like more information about Kitco, please contact us at any time at hr@kitco.com. It will be a pleasure to speak with you.

Pros

Flexible hours; ability to work from home at least 2 times per week; generous vacation plan; accessible management and directors; compassionate owner; management open to creative suggestions; most people are friendly; they try to have events and do fun stuff, but often participation is anemic; generally offer a balanced work/life ratio; now out of bankruptcy protection;

Cons

No RRSP contribution by company; bonuses are hard to come by; restrictive salaries (not on par with many other companies and industry); upper management very secretive and lack openness; communication does not often trickle down; many employees overworked due to lack of staff in many areas; the company very often embarks upon new initiatives and plans only to drop the ball along the way, to the extent that you never hear about these initiatives again;
