Pros

KP offers one of the most competitive salary and benefits in the market. If compensation is truly what you're after, there's nowhere better than KP.

Cons

Management was non-existent, co-workers were cutthroats, probationary period where management can take advantage of without representations, everything was strictly enforced and closely monitored, you will always have to watch for every single action and things you say at this company.
