K&S-Manufacturing

The new president and vp lack true leadership but they are great at unapologetically offending and pushing good people out the door on a weekly basis.  Overall things have gone from bad to worse daily since they were brought in. Strict, heavy handed changes to the company policies, increased micromanagement and lack of transparency are big negatives.  Upper Management shows zero respect for the employees who have worked hard to make K&S a success.  It’s unclear to most what the new president actually does and comes across uninspiring and uninformed.  The VP’s delivery when communicating is extremely condescending, belittling and overall offensive.  The VP has single handedly been the main cause for people quitting.  Sadly, the owner is oblivious and seems more concerned about selling the company than actually caring for the employees who have been loyal to K&S.  Trust, honesty, integrity and respect are just words with no meaning to the Upper Management at K&S.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
The team members were cool to work with and supervisor and manager were great as well.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing about my experience there were stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Laid-back chill work environment 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy alot on task at hand but it levels itself out communicating with fellow members makes the time go by faster.

You work 50-60 hours a week and there is some room for promotions, bonuses are great, health insurance isn't however. Hardest part is working the 10+ hour days on the shop floor, workplace culture is somewhat respectable. Most enjoyable part really is the 6 month bonuses you get...everything else is pretty meh. At least safety is their first priority.

Owner recognized poor culture and started a reorganization of top management.  Excited for the future now!  The shop employees have some physicality to their departments but have a great safety rating too. Office employees have comfortable work environment, ability to advance or learn other departments.
Good benefits offered.

The new VP and President are literally running the place into the ground and unfortunately the CEO is oblivious to what is taking place. In my short time there, I learned a lot, worked with a great team and worked hard. What they taught me from a higher management standpoint is that hard work and dedication gets you the same raise as a disgruntled lazy employee. A real shame, really enjoyed what I did there and the people I worked with.

New management is a joke,  They don't care about your concerns, if you don't like the direction they are headed you will be run out. They are running people out left and right. Management think that they can replace anyone who works there, they think the employees are a beneath them. They forget that is what makes the company work,  the employees. Turning into a prison. Most enjoyable part of the job is leaving.

New management is toxic. They feel everyone is replaceable and have no use for anyone that is unwilling to support their ideas and goals.  If you are not a yes person you will quickly be replaced.  They believe in micro managing and dictating orders vs doing with long hours and zero flexibility for family or life event's!

New Management is horrible. The owner sticks by them and yet so many people are leaving
And they are leaving because of the management. Sad.  They are afraid to say it's because of the new VP but that's why they are leaving 

Unless you are "chosen" one you are ignored until something goes wrong.
Upper management openly discusses confidential information with everyone....you will know who is fired before they are actually fired. They also talk about everyone negatively openly.




Hours and pay are good. Breaks are paid. My coworkers and supervisors are fun to work with.  Management walks around and answers questions. Communication is getting better. Business is good. They have company lunches, events and activities.
