Pros

During my initial interview, I had expressed I would only be interested in working for this company for a year. I have just reached my third year at C.K.E.. Starting in an entry level production position, I have worked hard, and have been recognized for it. I have since earned multiple promotions which have lead me to my role in the company today. I continue to accept new challenges and opportunities to continue moving up in the company. I don't know what direction my career will take me, whether it is 10 or more years at this company, or not. One thing is for certain, if you apply yourself this is a great place for gaining experience to put on a resume. I have gained valuable experience during my time here. Besides that, I have made lasting friendships with my co-workers and have had great opportunities to network myself not only within the industry, but in the community as well. This has been one of my favorite experiences at a business.

Cons

I do have a few cons to discuss. My first is issue is we do not receive paid time off. We get a set amount of hours to use which only reset once a year. Losing pay for either being genuinely sick or having a family emergency, while you have allotted time, is rough. While for the most part, if I had a situation arise that needed me to miss work, I have been accommodated. But once the time off has run out, you tend to be out of luck. It would be nice to earn accrued paid time off. Secondly, our company doesn't offer much encouragement to further your education and offers no incentives or assistance towards earning a degree. Our company has grown exponentially since my first arrival and continues to do so everyday. We are encouraged we could be hired internally for higher paying positions within the company. While we have the experience either from our time at this company or from others, some of us do not currently have degrees to meet the hiring criteria. I know there are a lot of us working towards a degree (some full time), and are continuing to work a 40 hour week. It would be amazing if Car Keys Express would offer tuition assistance or paid time away to earn the degree's needed to be considered for higher level positions. We are proving to be diligent hard working individuals both wanting to succeed at business and our education. Car Keys Express could make a better effort to recognize that.

Pros

Working remotely for the last 6 years has been great. The company has seen tremendous growth and I think it is largely due to the tenure of employees, their deep historical knowledge, and the care they have to about the company and their teams.

Cons

This year people in the office got raises and those of us at home got skipped over completely. It's worth pointing out that most of the longest tenured employees are all working from home. The people who have been here the longest, know the most and have the most invested in this company are the ones getting passed over.
