Pros

Has potential under real management. Promising business concept. Other than this, there is not much positive to be said.

Cons

It's extremely frustrating that this company wastes so much time and money on their appearance, rather than working on the root of their issues. Countless hours spent pouring over glassdoor attempting to discredit any and all reviews. It's sad really. The owner puts so much money into a "cool work atmosphere." Pool tables, couches, absurd architecture, foosball, all sitting and collecting dust while long-term employees are consistently told they aren't worth enough for a raise that they were promised when they were hired. There is no care for employees, contributions are never recognized, commitments are never honored. The fact that someone sits on here and argues with reviews should be enough proof that this place is filled with immaturity and ignorance. Please if you are considering a position here and you haven't already been scared away, proceed with Extreme Caution. This place is most definitely a waste of time and talent.

Ironic this "grow up" advice was dispensed by someone stalking a review site. It's the same person trying to discourage candidates and attack upper management, because he was released. These negative reviews happen clustered around the same time period. It’s a sad end to something that should have been done a long time ago. Consider this: We remain industry leaders in every segment we engage in. We’re the world’s fastest-growing dealership vendor, and the world’s largest discount mobile key vendor. We’re also the internet’s #1 retail seller of replacement keys. We’re leaders in innovation also--we’re the first and only company to create a Universal Car Remote, which is making its way to store shelves all over North America. We now have a design and development division, making even more industry-changing products we’ll be rolling out in the coming months and years. We believe our company’s most important asset goes home at the end of the day. Our employees work hard, and are the best paid in the industry, by far. For example, our Car Keys Express Account Managers typically earn twice to three times what our competitors pay. We take our work seriously, but we also encourage a healthy work-life balance. Most know the norm for a rapidly growing company is for employees to work 50 or more hours a week. Our local employees can work from 9-5 daily. Our employees in other states enjoy flexible work schedules. We’ve grown from a one-man operation to a nationwide company in 35 states in about ten years without taking a dime of financing--all thanks to the excellent work of our dedicated team. In this forum, many current and former employees have taken the time to post their genuine, real-life, positive experiences with our rapidly growing company. We've also taken the time to give detailed replies so you get all the information. Do the right thing, and give them consideration too. Thanks :-)

Pros

The hours are prime. You can't beat a straight-8, 9am-5pm job. Management isnt constantly looking over your shoulder - giving you room to figure things out on your own and to strengthen your problem solving skills. By far, my co-workers here are better than any other job I have been at. Everyone helps each other and there seems to be a lot less tension in the work place compared to similar job types. Everyone is friendly and helpful (in my experience). My projects are constantly changing - I always have something to do! Bottom line is that this company is still growing and there is a lot of growth potential for those that are willing to work for it.

Cons

There are a lot of workers that could give a care less about the company and that can really kill the spirit. There are a good few people disgruntled about the lunch schedule and many others blatantly ignore it - which can be confusing for newer hires. Pay could be better for some. We need to weed out the employees who do not put in the effort to make good product.
