Pros

Autonomy to work your own schedule as a technician.

Cons

I worked at CKE for 4 years, and in that time the one thing that remained the same was change. Change isnt bad but when it affects your paycheck in the course of thousands of dollars, then yes change is bad. In the course of time I have seen a considerable amount of turnover and lack of communication with the corporate office in Louisville which always seems to be the same story of well get someone back to you. When someone quits or is fired they is always a email or word by mouth from someone at corporate about why they left. Most of the technicians are starting to see that this company is a facade for everything they do wrong and people are starting to see it. From limiting the amount of money a tech can make to the garbage product they sell and expect you to work longer hours to make up for loss wages when the only people that benefit is the owners. This is a company that will tell you one thing and do anther and then make you look like scum the next.

Car Keys Express Response

Our techs are: Much better paid than their peers in other industries. Average $70k, twice what our competitors pay Top performers $100k plus Personal freedom without supervision Best stocked in the industry, with 3 times what competitors have We’re looking forward to even more record-breaking years, and even more opportunities for our team, who are provided the best pay, most inventory, best working conditions, and the most opportunities in the industry--by far! From our job posting: “After one year, our typical tech earns over $68,000 per year. Our top 30% earn over $82,000 per year. Our highest performers make over $110,000 per year.” All those things are true, except one. Our average tech earns not $68k, but, rather $70k. It's mathematical evidence of our management and ownership's commitment to having the best paid technicians in the history of the industry. No one comes close, with our techs earning 2-3 times what competitors pay. With that said, that post gives us the opportunity to respond, and announce some exciting news! We have two national accounts joining soon, which will bring our average 50% year-over-year growth even higher. Also, we’re instituting a program allowing our field technicians yet another level of promotion with the ability to manage others. Yet another program allows techs to sell our services, allowing them to earn even more! Our techs get the most personal freedom in the industry. While our competitors are largely confined to one location, our techs are highly mobile and self-supervised. We stock our service vehicles with three times more keys than our competitors do, allowing our techs to earn twice to three times what our competitors pay. Our highest performers earn over six figure incomes. We’re so proud to offer this tremendous opportunity so rare in today’s economy. We’re looking forward to even more record-breaking years, and even more opportunities for our team, who are provided the best pay, most inventory, best working conditions, and the most opportunities in the industry--by far!
