Pros

Good health benefits for yourself

Cons

Do not go by their own mission statements. High turnover. Lots of broken promises. Will take as much as you will give with little rewards. What is a raise? Lack of employees to provide federal protections.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and perspective. With our headquarters in a growing community outside of Des Moines, Iowa, we’re proud to be a small business that has the vision and flexibility to impact people across the world. We’re disappointed that your experience did not represent our overall mission. We’re actively revisiting our value statements and plan for those to guide all levels of the organization. As the job market continues to rebound and workplace expectations shift post COVID, Kuder has seen a more positive turnover metric in recent months. We’re saddened to read your statement about broken promises. Our organization stands firm on the integrity of our people, our strategic plan, and our commitments to our partners. We appreciate your feedback and will work to do better in the future. Our detailed merit review process with compensation guidelines was developed with assistance from third-party experts and is based on organizational success and individual performance management.

We’re very thankful for the time you took to submit such a glowing review. We couldn’t agree more about our positive working environment. Hearing this kind of feedback makes our day. We work very hard to develop and foster a positive working culture and to keep growing our internship program.

Pros

Good benefits, and 4.5 day work week.

Cons

They really gaslight themselves as being a great company. This also gaslights the employees, which puts pressure on the employees to rate the company as a good company. They are very poorly managed, and do not have a good business model. Every year your manager says that this is the year that we are going to effectively use goals as part of your annual review process. Then when you express the desire to schedule time to work on your goals, your manager says that we really don't have time to work on goals. Then when they do your annual review, they just ignore goals completely. They also ask you to take surveys about the company culture, which are not anonymous, so you can't really be truthful without fear of retribution. They also have a habit of ignoring inner department issues, and then firing the person that reported the problem. This leads to a lot of people that are just gone. They don't let people give a 2 week notice either. No career advancement or internal training to improve communications, and other working skills. Compensation is at an average to low level. They settle for mediocre quality, and call it the best in the industry.
