We do excellent work
|
|
I feel like I can truly get behind the products that we sell, which makes my job fulfilling. Everyone here - from fabrication to engineering - seems to care that they do good work and deliver excellence. It's the challenge and the sense of completion that makes this work rewarding.
|
The office building is large and drafty and could use some updates.

Horrible Upper Management
|
|
Everyday teammates were good.
Decent benefits
|
Upper management does not care about the everyday employee.
I was forced to “quit” because Kiosk refused to follow local and state public health orders regarding handling of at risk individuals related to COVID-19. They told me to come into the office or quit even though state guidelines had me classified as under Stay At Home orders. Team members offered to cover my shifts and I asked to use PTO and was told no.

Toxic Software Development
|
|
I worked at Kiosk Info Systems for over 5 years, and it was very good early on but then the company was sold to a Taiwanese company - PosiFlex. All the Pros quickly went away along with the beloved company founder and several other long time executives and managers.
These are the pros which for a long time now can only be spoken about in past tense:
- 100% medical coverage
- Yearly Bonus
- Lots of Advancement and pay increases
- Fun place to work
- Outstanding leadership and management of the company
|
After the first few wonderful years working in the software development shop of Kiosk things started going downhill. I watched as infighting between the company executive management and the software director took place and was allowed to increase in severity for years. This hampered development and delivery of quality software.
The company was hardware company for many years that eventually decided to create a software development shop and invested heavily in order to make great applications our customers would buy along with the kiosks we made in the factory. We should have made money hand over fist but there was one simple reason that never happened: Get it out the door! Get it out the door! Get it out the door you stupid devs!!!!
Salesmen without any software background ran the show - they forced the software teams to package up apps and ship them out the door with major problems. Fixing it in the field was their idea but that bit this company in the butt so many times - and they just kept doing it. Even worse established deadlines were rained in so that revenue could be collected this month instead of next or whatever.
This caused so much anxiety and hardship to the software teams - I witnessed around 60 devs come and go in just a few short years, many of whom left reviews here - take a look. The newer management and salesmen were unsympathetic to the expertise and quality needs that developing software requires - and it sure showed once the customers received their product. I'm glad I am not part of this headache any longer.
I witnessed some of the most alarming scapegoating I have ever seen a this company. Our CTO was a visionary and started the first software projects, he was with the company over 15 years, extremely helpful and respected. I listened to the new CFO at the time, now the latest president and CEO of Kiosk, Kim Kenny gaslight a bunch of employees about how the CTO was responsible for all this hardship and the infighting between the main office and the software group. What a disgrace. This was just the first sample of deception from Kim, much more to come, but again I am glad these headaches are behind me.
There are some truly unbelievable stories of sales incompetence and disastrous management picks at this place - I shall forever retain these as a learning experience: People will shoot themselves in the foot over and over again, well DUMB people that is.
This will help sum it up:
- 5 years - 5 different software development directors
- 5 years - on the 4th CEO now at least
- before PosiFlex acquisition there was hope - not any longer with what I have seen. What a Toxic environment!
Oh and just one more thing:
The CEO prior to Kim, William Butler put us all in a room one day and said "Look to your left and to your right, this is the team you are working with and this will not be changing."
A breath of fresh air for us all as things were rough at this time, then 6 weeks later about half of the dev group was laid off. When confronted about the lies management basically said this: "We never lied to you! Just ask us!"
For this I can forever say that Butler is a lair - hes the president of one of Kiosks customers now, one that was able to get a lot of free stuff due the poor quality of the software delivered to them. Funny how that works out isn't it?
Just stay away!

Interesting Industry but executive team has high turn over
|
|
• The company is always building neat and cool new things.
• Great team of engineers
• Very talented team
|
• Company pays significantly under market
• Leadership doesn't support their employees with the necessary materials to complete their jobs
• Profits, beating the competition, and cost cutting are solely focused on without consideration of other bottom lines.
• Management bullies employees, or tolerates bullying when it occurs among employees.
• Company is a high environmental polluter.

• Conduct a culture or employee engagement survey that reflects on the work environment and management's performance or leadership.
• Have HR and well-meaning managers conduct stay interviews to keep good people from leaving.
• Do a little market research on the salary range for the skill set and experience you are hiring for.
• When employees ask for materials, don't sit on your hands. Get them what they need!

"Leadership", what is that?
|
|
I'll elect to be lighthearted:
It's never bad to be employed; it can always be worse.
That is truthfully the only "pro" I have.
|
KIOSK is the type of company in which the following scenario is common:
You're told one day that you're doing well and receive great praise from your peers, yet there will again be no performance-based salary increases because of recent company struggles... and the next day, one department has five new big-screen TVs mounted on the wall (with neat LED strips attached), one of the managers purchased yet another new vehicle, and another person you continue to outperform gets a promotion. Favoritism is prolific at KIOSK.
If you're in sales and want to progress in your career, as far as I've seen, there may be potential for you. However, if you're a more technological mind and want to progress in your career, you'd better be ready to step on some toes, lie, manufacture data, and delegate. That is the only clear-cut route to success - with regard to a technological career - at KIOSK. I cannot speak, empirically, to sales.
Encouragement does not trickle down at KIOSK. The BS does. There are more incentives to brown-nose your peers and fabricate data than there are to better yourself professionally and take pride in the good work you do for the company. You're incessantly told "the grass is greener on the other side", yet your immediate boss/manager insists you keep the blindfold (they tied on you) around your eyes.
If you're a productive worker, you will be taken advantage of. You will be forced into scenarios in which you're led to believe you're on thin ice so they can put you in your place and keep you there. If you develop the audacity to believe you can progress, they will find a way to turn the tables.
Some parts of the company have automated means of tracking performance data for individuals. This is excellent when you're a hard worker. However, have no doubts, your immediate manager will track every ill/wrong move you make, every mistake, every poorly-worded sentence, every slight slip-up, etc., to ensure they're armed with ammo against you should you seek progress at the time of a performance review. They'll have an Outlook email folder with your name on it, assuredly working 10x harder on the accumulation of "dirt" on you than anything related to the benefit of the company.
All in all, I enjoyed meeting some good people at the company. It was like being a student at a University: surrounded by like-minded people finding their way, yet suspiciously difficult to determine whether the enveloping institution cares about your development in *any* way/shape/form.

Run far away from this place
|
|
The co-workers were friendly but sadly many have resigned or are just looking to get out!
|
Terrible atmosphere, too much negativity! Management should consider taking leadership courses. Several talk down to employees & have absolutely no place in a management role. The Executive team & HR need to seriously consider why this company has a 2.1 rating. Come on guys! Obviously, there's something wrong. Set an example from the top down!

Invest in your employees, appreciate them, praise them, motivate them & most of all support them. You'll be amazed at how much an employee will give when they feel appreciated. Do not prevent good employees from moving to new opportunities! Take a good look at your management teams. Are they truly qualified or did they step into the role w/ no real experience or qualifications?

Medical benefits are better than most companies.

Software development shop it is anything but a software shop. You do 8-5 or else. No work from home or flex schedules. If you work on weekend to help a customer, you don't get that day back, you donated it. Be prepared to be insulted and cussed at by customers and you need to like this because management allows it. Discrimination is a common practice. Favors for favorites. Software Team is lied to as a course of corporate direction.
