Knight Barry Title

As a new employee I feel the orientation process could be a lot better. My first day was here is your desk here is your computer and here you go. I have to figure out most items on my own, I was not told how to put my time in, how to get my phone set up or computer. I was not given training, it was provided internally and it was so busy there wasn't really time to be trained. I felt like a burden when I first started and there was no time for me. Training is key to the employee success, I feel there should be proper training prior, so when you step in the office you are an asset not a burden. My co-workers are great and it was no fault of theirs, there just wasn't time to just take time to sit with me. At times I feel our region is overloaded with work and no one takes the time to really see where we are and how much we have on our plates, I know we don't want to turn away customers, but there are really only so many hours in a day and it is not realistic to do so many closing in one day. I am very happy here as a whole but thought you should know the frustrations of a new hire. You have a great vision but at times the work load can be overwhelming and unrealistic. Thank you for the opportunity to be apart of this team and the time to listen to my concerns.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The first weeks when you really feel like you found a good place to work and you may be part of a team. Then you find out none of that was true and since you're not related or part of the cool kids you will be used and thrown out. This may seem petty.. but find out for yourself.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part about working for the company is trying your hardest and eventually finding out that it's all for nothing. They don't care. They want it done their way. They don't want you to stand up for yourself.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment in the culture at the company is very much like High school. At first you think it's cool and then the shininess wears off and you find out that it was just not okay

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day.. would be to wait and figure out how they're going to be us me and scriw me today

I have been at KBT for 9 years, and throughout  my career I got to try different roles and navigate through my strengths and weaknesses - and  landed exactly where I want to be to continue my professional growth.  I feel I have an opportunity to continue to  grow here and learn from the awesome Executive team we have! There is almost always opportunity to grow your career at KBT, many of our staff members start out entry level and climb the ladder!  Our culture is fun. While we take care of business we also provide a culture that encourages team bonding and activities that allow us to socialize and get to know each other (sometimes via Zoom or a safe distance these days).  KBT is always growing- which keeps everyone on their toes!  Our management around the company assures great training to any new employee, whether you come with experience or if you are entry level - they will set you up for success if you have the drive!

Knight Barry Title is an amazingly wonderful workplace, every day is an adventure and something new is always abreast.  Most of my co-workers are professional, helpful and kind.  There are a few coworkers, of mine, where negativity prevails; however, the rest of the entire organization is wonderful to work with.
There is not enough time in a given work day to keep learning as much as possible, the good part is I never want to leave or stop, Each transaction is different and invigorating!  I look forward to each day at work.
I feel so happy to be part of this organization and look forward to working many years with KBT into the future!

I enjoyed working at this company. They are very skilled and I never had to question whether the company could handle a title insurance scenario whether it was a common transaction or an outlier. Knight Barry Title was good at finding solutions, quarterbacking closings, and meeting deadlines to get deals closed on time. They are very involved with local, state, and national associations and organizations. Very consistent and professional as a company. Can handle large national, regional, or local developments and cases all the way down to Grandma refinancing. Opportunities to learn and grow. 

A typical day at work is really never typical...variety is the spice of the job.  I have been with Knight Barry for over 30 years and I am still learning something new every day.  I personally feel that Knight Barry Title has gone above and beyond in making sure that the employees are healthy, happy and well taken care of.  Communication has always been a key factor here.  To me, the hardest part of my job is knowing that we cannot make all of our customers happy all of the time.  The best part of my job...well, this company has blessed me with so much over the years, that I cannot just pick one "best part" of my job.

Knight Barry Title is a decent company if you’re looking to get an introduction to the world of title. However the poor management, Lack of proper training and bad leadership make it a stressful work environment. I cannot emphasize enough how undertrained they leave employees before allowing them to handle checks and legal documents- It seems at this company that promotions and leadership opportunities go to those who can use ChatGPT to create spreadsheets and busy work. Unwillingness from HR to properly discipline those in a management positions creates an uncomfortable atmosphere for those under them. 

HR and regional management are very unprofessional and don’t communicate to try and solve internal issues. They  just fire people based on other people’s opinion. They hire bad mgmt  because all they care about is money and not the well being of their employees. They don’t offer good  benefits  and 401k.  They don’t compensate for unused PTO and expect employees to work through their lunch hour unpaid. 


The only enjoyable part of this job was helping clients achieve their goals. 

I currently work at Knight Barry Title in Menominee, MI, and have been with the company for a little over 7 months now. With me being new to the area, my coworkers welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like apart of the group. My office manager is very understanding and her door is always open. It is refreshing to know that I can go to her with any questions or issues that may arise. The environment is friendly and we have fun every day. I am thankful to have found such a great company to work for and a wonderful group of ladies to work with!
