Kronos Employee Quotes
“What makes Kronos unique is the encouragement, openness, and empowerment to allow team members to innovate. [Kronites] are encouraged to work on side projects to improve processes and/or tools which improve efficiencies across the board.” “Our benefits are great, our pay is great, and our work is challenging and rewarding. Kronos continues to deliver innovative products that customers and prospects love, and continues to be a leader…all made possible because of the employees and the extraordinary leaders that choose to work here. Quite simply: From the highest levels of the company, Kronos knows that…employees make a company successful, and every day Kronos shows [us] how much we are trusted, valued, and appreciated.” “We have the very best of the best – in every role. In every function. I have never encountered such a high degree of excellence in every position around me, from support, to engineering, to operations. All 100% top notch. I am proud to be part of such an excellent team.” “Leadership truly embraces myTime, encouraging employees to take time off when and where they need it.
