    SVP, Service

    Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Trust in People is one of the pillars of our organization and we are happy to see that you enjoyed working with your colleagues. We're sorry to hear that this experience was not shared with all levels. Relationships beyond the workplace do not play any part in our recruitment process. We encourage all employees to voice their concerns when and if they feel that preferential treatment is being given. I’d be happy to discuss any other feedback you may have. Please email us at hrfeedback.ame@konecranes.com. -Bernie D

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Some very local good people to work with.

    Cons

    Konecranes randomly pulls people out of roles and moves them to other roles. They also have chosen to "adjust" the payroll for the sales people to a lower salary (significantly lower for some) with small commission and a limited sales scope. The new program is universal with no accounting for tenure or experience, and is marketed as unlimited earning potential, but they limit what you are allowed to sell and get commission for. Konecranes used to be very focused on taking care of the people that work for them, but over the last few years has drastically moved to focusing on the bottom line and doing "more with less". Unfortunately this is still an extremely top heavy company and the cuts are being covered by the people on the street.

    Konecranes Response

    SVP, Service

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We do strive to put people in the positions that they’ll be most successful, so movements are generally at an employee’s request or to highlight the employee’s strengths and let he/she be successful in a role where those strengths can be utilized. The new sales commission structure is our attempt to allow our sales resources full reward for their activity without limitation. Our sales personnel can sell a variety of safety and productivity solutions at varying levels of complexity. With this structure, we have attempted to align our sales people in roles best addressing those needs. This eliminates overlap and provides each sales role a more specific focus on the customer’s product. Konecranes always has and always will be very focused on people. We believe our people are the most important part of our business. They are the driving force behind our safety focus and our business strategies. Without our people, we are not Konecranes. We’ll continue to be very focused on taking care of our people, offering a multitude of benefits including, but not limited to, incentives on commissions, profit sharing, a robust health and wellness package, competitive vacation and sick leave, health initiatives, and other employee engagement activities. If you have any further feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out to hrfeedback.ame@konecranes.com. -Bernie D

    Pros

    The big cranes are fun to build. There are some good people to work around. There are chances for lots of overtime in the shop, but you will need to work long hours and weekends.

    Cons

    Pay and time off is not good. Raises were disappointing. Supervisor and Leads do not listen to anyone, and they like to play favorites. Not much room for growth or opportunity, unless you are a favorite. Some nice and good people are not working here anymore.
