Glassdoor--it's the "review" site where, sadly, you can be accused of "micromanagement overload" by a person who works from home. Of the many, quietly successful employees, there will be a rare situation where one who doesn’t make the grade. Our turnover remains much lower than the 15% nationwide average because our Managers have much better working conditions than the crazy hours of dealership management. Also, it's important that our sales people can close at a decent rate, otherwise they'll not be successful here, or in any sales position. Upon separation, we wished the person in question good luck, and still do today. So, you’ll see a common theme here: that upper management is the worst thing to happen to the company. Of course, it’s the same management that started the company from nothing and turned it into three industry-leading companies. This review gives us a chance to publicly reply with some great news! We just closed the books on 2016 and it was another record year of growth for Car Keys Express. At this time, we're growing faster than at any time in the company's history. What we're doing works, and we're the fastest growing dealership vendor in America. We were recently honored with INC magazine's INC 5000 award, recognizing America's fastest-growing private companies. To get a better understanding of the whole story, feel free to reach out to our “news” webpage, and contact our recruiters (because we’re growing, we’re always hiring) or human resources department, and they’ll tell you about all the exciting opportunities working with out amazing team!

Pros

This is an awesome place to work. Our office is situated in one of the coolest downtown areas of Louisville - "NuLu". The office is often described by visitors as what they imagine Google offices look like...we have a Foosball table! High energy is the look and feel, inside and out. I love our hours: 9 to 5, M-F. Growth is incredible. I am a seasoned sales professional with over 20 years professional B2B sales and sales management experience - nowhere have I ever seen the growth we are experiencing. This company has several divisions, all with one focus: to be the leader in the key and remote industry. That has offered me tons of new learning experiences like attending trade shows and being involved with new marketing pieces. I thought after 20 years I had seen it all. Car keys Express proved me wrong.

Cons

Some may see having to wear more than one hat as scary, or a con. This is a fast company - there are times that "all hands on deck" apply. I will say many departments that had one person in them when I started now have multiple people in them...more hands on deck is always nice. Sometime there aren't enough hours in the day to do all you would like to with tasks that come across your desk, so if your the type that likes to "clear your desk" before you leave for the day, that may be a challenge. There is a never ending TO-DO list.
