A not so great place to work - Anonymous employee KemperLesnik Employee Review

While it isn’t necessarily a bad place to work, I can’t say I would recommend working here. If you’re not a favorite at this company, you might as well not exist. Lower-level employees are micromanaged and are treated like they’re stupid. KemperLesnik lets talented, quality employees slip through their fingers because clients are boring, benefits are minimal, and forget having a company culture (a free lunch in the office every now and then doesn’t equal culture). Pay is laughable and PTO is something they don’t believe should be shared equally (some employees are known to take upwards of a month off in a year, while others struggle to get a mere few days of PTO approved by their supervisor). It should be noted that this example isn’t between an SVP and an AAE - it’s between two people who are a lot closer together in age and experience level, and may or may not report to the same supervisor. Being unable to retain talent leads to not being able to retain clients, and many of the clients that have stuck around pay very minimal retainers with unreasonable expectations and requests.
