Cons

This place started out as a relatively pleasant company to work for, but after a short while I came to realize the toxicity that lives within it. First of all, there is absolutely zero trust from upper management to other employees, leaving tension, discomfort ect. I (and others) were constantly taken advantage of into doing ‘tasks/jobs’ that were above our job requirements. These tasks would often be disguised as ‘learning/growth opportunities’, sometimes they would be out of the norm ‘competitions’ with an unsubstantial prize gifted at the end. The company is extremely toxic by having a number of special manipulative verbiage they like to use. For example ‘integrity’ or ‘background conversation’ or ‘clearings’. Lets say upper management heard that I along with other employees are talking about any dissatisfaction or frustration within the company, they’ll look down on you and tell you not to make background conversation. It then starts to become believable that venting to coworkers is wrong and that’s where it becomes manipulative. Last thing I will say is there is so much shadiness happening within the company. Noone ever knows what is going on because they refuse to keep people informed and straight up lie about what’s going on.

Pros

Nice people to work with and discounts

Cons

Low pay and no social distancing so you’re likely to get COVID working there

Pros

The company culture is very strong. there are a lot of little perks like gym passes, and yoga, and daily in-office activities. There is a lot of time spent on meetings, and making sure everyone is in the know of everything happening all the time. Your voice is always heard, and generally people are pretty nice.

Cons

Landmark Forum is an essential part of this company, its culture, and all its ethics. It's mandatory (not optional as they want you to believe) and it is not something that many of us are prepared for. Almost all aspects of this company are in some way relative to Landmark. The company culture fails in so many ways because of this. there is a lack of trust in anyone who is not 100% living by the way they want you to at kitandace. many of the policies and jargon used are isolating, and not inviting.
