K&D Management

What is the best part of working at the company?
K&D operates like the fast-food version of maintenance—high turnover, low pay, and little investment in the people doing the work. From my experience, the environment is driven by poor leadership and negative energy that starts at the top and trickles down.

Morning meetings set the tone for the day, but instead of motivation or direction, they often consist of complaints and criticism. This creates a stressful and discouraging atmosphere rather than a productive one.

There’s a clear lack of appreciation for employees, and it shows in both compensation and day-to-day treatment. Instead of feeling like part of a team, you feel like a replaceable part in a system—more like a machine than a workplace that values its people.

If you’re looking for growth, respect, and a positive work environment, this may not be the place.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Morning meeting with the maintenance manager. He was miserable every day and attempted to pass it on.

I have been with K&D Management a little over 15 years, Ownership are really family oriented, They really care about their staff health and well being.  Corporate office staff are very helpful to Managers on the many different Properties. Accounting and Operations go above and beyond to help you reach your goals, and success on various projects on the site.  When we are introduced to new software or new programs, the operations staff is always available for one on one assistance if needed, they are awesome!  I love my job duties, I love working with the K&D staff.  HR staff is very knowledgeable and very helpful with with your concerns as an employee.  The benefits are great!  During the Pandemic in 2020, and 2021 Management made sure we had supplies needed to stay safe, I can't say enough to express how great this Management Company  is to work for. Appreciation for your dedication and hard work is shown by Ownership in many ways!
Come join us, you will be glad you did!  It's a career opportunity!

 

No support or back up from management. Some employees work long hours without any form of compensation. Employees are salary and some work between 3 to 8 hours overtime a week.               Some maintenance personal are forced to come in on the weekends and work very long hours almost every day. They are responsible for everything at their buildings including nights and weekends they are on call. The good workers are expected to cover for others while the others do very little.
Promises are made but never any real improvement. The company cares very little for their residents. They are only interested in the rent. The hardest part of the job actually doing your job without interference or opinions from co-workers. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with the residents.

Seemed like a great company, they talked a mean game at orientation.
Then I got to my workplace at Gates Mills Towers.
The management with the maintenance staff is laughable. You will be talked to like you are a child,, just completely unprofessional. I am a very responsible person and worker, show up on time and work etc, and if you arent happy with me then you arent going to be happy with very many people.
I had high hopes for this company and job, but my hopes were misplaced totally. Very disappointing. And it isnt just me, in the 1 month I was there I saw multiple people leave the company shortly after hire. Until they clean up the management there and learn how to talk to people and treat people I dont see any change occurring. Good luck!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management and my co-workers , the residents I take care of to make their home feel like home 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When some residents don't get how we have some emergencies come before non emergencies 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's great we all work together well , we get along and work as a team to get the job done

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Picking up the grounds around the buildings , doing my daily walk through the building, because we all have our assigh areas to walk each day ,then I get my laptop and check my work orders and get my keys and start working

Typical day with K&D would be collecting all online and telephone voice messages. Checking and confirming all appointments for the day. Making sure all work orders had been completed from the previous day. Showing units to all future prospects, and collections.

I learned how to overcome objectives when it came to the customers needs and wants.

The company was owned and operated by a family, which means there was a lot of favoritism.

Co-workers were not team players and all about self.

The hardest part of the job was collecting rent from tenants who knew how to work the system.

The most enjoyably part was the many different type of people I would meet when showing the property.

I have worked for K&D going on 3 years. I knew from day one that I would enjoy my time with this company. I work in the Downtown portfolio and worked very hard to advance quickly in the company. Within 6 months I was managing my own property and within a year I had advanced again to a larger building. I am now coming onto my 3rd year and could not be happier. I love the family atmosphere and the upper management is really supportive and makes you feel respected/valued. I look forward to where my career goes with K&D and I do recommend people to work here. If you work hard, you will be rewarded. 

K&D caters to its employees. Throughout the year, K&D offers a variety of activities and "perks" for working for them. On Fridays, the employees are permitted to wear jeans, during the summer the custodial and maintenance staff wear shorts, they have off and on-site activities for the employee and their families, and they have an amazing holiday party! K&D really is a great place to work. Sure, there are cons but I believe the pros far out way the cons.

I was honestly happy to work for the company until I got to work for the company,it's VERY disappointing. They DONT care about there employees unless it's management or corporate. The pay is horrible and they act like your children and love to micro manage ,VERY CONTROLLING COMPANY!!!! ITS INSANE THE WAY THEY ARE IN YOUR BUSINESS. They make you pay for your own uniform. One year your off for a holiday the next year your working for the same holiday with NO warning just because they said so ,No regard for the REAL WORKERS AT ALL , Like I said before they run the company like a PLANTATION 

The owners are very passionate about their business and that is evident in their expectations of their employees and the way their business is run. I have nothing but good things to say about the way I have been treated by the owners during my time here. If you do your job and mind your own business, your time here will be great! My only complaints are the expense of health insurance and the new rules imposed about taking vacation time.
