Avantages

It seems to be a decent place to work if you are on the technical side of the house, or are part of the support staff. The people who work there are competent, friendly, and have a desire to do well. There is a concerted effort to create a positive work environment with a good work-life balance. They do seem to be well organized and structured with their processes. They have good, long-standing business in the federal market as a small business vendor and are trying to expand into the local, large company, commercial sector.

Inconvénients

Sales is a revolving door and it's rare that reps last more than one year. Manufacturers that have partnered with the company are quite aware of this. Reps are given very high quotas with no existing customer base, no resources, and no real time to develop new relationships in a new market. Expectations are often a moving target with management, and they often don't align with what is realistic and achievable. Reps are hired for their contacts, promised great opportunities, and then let go after several months. I strongly advise against working for this company in any sales capacity.

Avantages

There are so many genuinely wonderful colleagues and fantastically talented people at Kinney Group. Core values are front and center, and colleague recognition is frequent and prompt. Technical colleagues (engineers) have ample opportunity to grow and develop their skills through advanced training initiatives.

Inconvénients

The emphasis on culture and colleague support is meaningless because it is ultimately negated by leadership. With the exception of one VP who is constantly spoken over and undervalued, the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is composed of white men whose leadership philosophies are twenty years out of date. Entry-level colleagues, women, and people of color at KGI were constantly disrespected by the CEO, who lacks a basic understanding of and appreciation for certain parts of the business. The facade of investing in colleagues is there, but KGI will never be a truly great place to work until ELT commits to a long-term, effective leadership philosophy, updates their outlook on diversity and inclusion, and values colleagues as individuals who shape the company rather than detractors from a bottom line. I don't know if those changes can take place under current leadership.
