High stress & burnout

Pros

Remote work, decent benefits for some things. If you thrive in high stress/high pressure situations, with constant change & pivoting priorities, this place is for you.

Cons

Kin having the value “Operate lean; deliver more” should tell you pretty much everything you need to know about working at this company. There is little to no training yet the expectations to produce & perform are very high. Flexible/unlimited PTO is part of the benefits but if you feel like you can’t ever take time off because you’re so busy with work/deadlines, it’s not really a benefit. Not to mention, the time leading up to taking more than a few days off is SO stressful trying to get everything done or ready to be handed off that you question if it’s even worth it. Burnout is a very real thing at this company. They terminate people quite frequently here so you are often in fear of losing your job which adds another level of stress on top of everything else. While they are flexible, the work/life balance is poor. Working evenings & weekends is frequently necessary to meet deadlines.

Pros

Work from home and getting to meet new people from your training class

Cons

Worst experience in a training environment I’ve ever had. Unprofessional trainers and management using scare tactics don’t make for a very positive environment. Made me doubt my decision to move over to this company from day one and never got much better from there. Constant fear of losing one’s job and underwriting makes it impossible to write business. Having years of successful sales experience in various industries- very disappointed. Toxic, immature management.

Burnout!

Pros

People care a lot; top performers carry this company and the result is that Kin has been very lucky to succeed. However, exec leadership can't decide as a collective where Kin should go.

Cons

The company’s growth appears to rely heavily on a small group of very high-performing employees who consistently take on extremely large scopes of work. While leadership frequently speaks about preventing burnout, the day-to-day expectations can still involve late nights, weekend work, and work during vacation. When concerns about workload or capacity are raised, the feedback often centers on individual prioritization; this can make burnout feel more like a personal issue than a structural one. The environment can also feel highly competitive among peers, which can sometimes work against collaboration and create unnecessary internal pressure, and back-stabbing. There are many talented and hardworking people across the organization, but clearer prioritization from executive leadership and a more sustainable approach to workload would meaningfully improve the employee experience.
