Cons
-Even when you're more competent, highly skilled and has great potentials, hiring managers will go with "experience and previous title on paper". Sadly, in KP it is not what you know, but who you know. -KP can't assess talent and won't grow its new work force (less than 5 years of services at KP). They sometimes hire from the outside for people with the "right" experience. -Lack of training programs and opportunities for new work force (less than 5 years of services at KP) -Horrible recruitment services. If you apply from the outside, you know how much of a black hole it is to apply on kp.org. It is not that much if you're a current employee applying to internal positions. Most KP recruiters are not helpful or friendly. -Pay raises are very little and are capped out at a certain percentage each year. -Each department is slow to make changes due to its large size and bureaucratic nature -Lazy, and incompetent employees still allow to work, causing headaches for other dedicated, hard working, and competent employees.
