Working at KLS-Martin in Jacksonville, FL: 3 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Jacksonville, FL Area

"No respect / genuine interest in employees/customers. Owners distribute Christmas bonuses in the brkrm by calling name and announcing $ amt. Pending orders from customers go back to June '13. Customer service mgr emails the dept. instructing to pretty much lie to customers inquiring about orders if there's no ETA. They're more concerned with keeping those accounts than being honest. Employees think / act like they have to kiss their boss' butt in order to have a job. Gossip/socialize in mgr's office."

"I worked for KLS Martin (North America) as a Senior Software Developer. They are a distributor of medical devices with a focus on Sales and Distribution."

"It's potentially the worst company I've worked for."

What do you like about working at KLS-Martin?

"Nothing other than I've made a few life long friends"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Don't come here now. Wait for a great review. I've seen too many people come in get hired then get fired. They don't care about turn over, they don't care about your qualifications. If you are the type that is a sheep, you follow no questions asked, you keep your head down, you can walk in a place w/o saying good morning & walk out w/o saying bye, you don't socialize with anyone big small red blue or green then you'll fit in fine."

What don't you like about working at KLS-Martin?

"This company is run, not by the owners, by the wrong people given too much power. They no longer are employee friendly, they no longer care if the employee is happy. The sales reps are the golden children while the worker bees, support staff, the back bone of the company are the redheaded stepchildren."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"LISTEN to your employees. Do an anonymous survey so you can hear what they really think & feel. Having a holiday party ONCE a year & thinking that's enough isn't enough! The employees in Jacksonville are busting humps for KLS but are put down, ignored, reprimanded for the bad but what about appreciation for the good they do Stop hiring people because the interviewer likes them & hire people that are qualified. Instead of firing good quality people for one offense give them a chance to make corrections to actions, what happened to write ups & warnings"
