Kronite Quotes Pulled by Fortune from the Great Place to Work Trust Index© Survey

• “I joined Kronos later in my career after working for 25 years at another company. I have been pleased with the opportunity I’ve had to grow and develop in ways that I never had at my former company. The work is rich and the intent behind it is pure. Kronos has an excellent executive leadership team who genuinely cares about the people that work here — not just what they do while they are here, but for the whole person. That is rare in my opinion.”
• “I feel empowered, supported, and ‘community-like’ more than any other company I’ve worked for. I am a younger employee, with less experience, but I feel my voice is heard and I’m given fantastic opportunities.”
