      Turned out to be nothing like I expected

      Pros

      your co-workers are pretty great. We've got each other's backs and understand the frustrations described below. The office space is really cool too.

      Cons

      So, the job application stated the following: "You'll experience the satisfying feeling of having your ideas put immediately into action. -- No waiting for a committee or buraeuocracy to approve them first." This is a complete lie. Especially if you work in marketing or design. I've worked here several months and have yet to see an entire project go start to finish. There are so many bottlenecks in the process and it's all because upper management has to approve every small change or idea we have before moving forward. This is especially difficult when the weather is nice and the CEO decides to spend the day on his motorcycle. Creative people have no creative freedoms here and it frustrates them daily. I honestly feel lied to. From the outside this place looked great. Awesome office space, pool table, ping pong, a bar.... But you never get to use them. So why am I still here? The paycheck. Nothing more.

      Pros

      Here's my experience working here: we are the fastest growing dealership vendor in the US. We recently expanded our footprint to Hawaii and Canada. Added to that success, we are now a key manufacturer! - The world's only manufacturer of aftermarket versions of modern car keys, like remote head keys and smart keys. If this sounds "sales-y", it's because I have been a Regional Sales Manager for all of my tenure, and I share these facts with new clients everyday. Search INC 5000 to get great information of Car Keys Express!

      Cons

      We are growing so fast - we need quality applicants in every position at Car Keys Express. Seriously, one of the biggest challenges right now is adding more people to meet the demands of our ever-growing client list - a good problem to have! If you are motivated to succeed send your resume today!

      Pros

      Yes, the coworkers are great for the most part. But favorites are played so much that you begin to resent your coworkers for their unfair treatment. Mark is passionate, but he is also unwilling to commit to an idea unless it is his own. He doesn’t believe that anyone else is capable of an idea that is worth pursuing. He does bring lunch which is nice.

      Cons

      There is a great work life balance, if you consider 8:30 to 5:00 with no flexibility they. Kid sick? Use PTO or vacation, no working from home or making up the hours later that week. No nights or weekends? Only is Mark doesn’t text you and expect you to do something for him. Benefits are okay in terms of size of company. PTO and vacation are significantly less than industry standards. They are in fact, pathetic. If your are hourly, expect no paid time off until after 1 year.
