Pros

Financial backing by one of the leading private equity firms, excellent leadership team with industry veterans, great work/life balance, excellent compensation and long-term potential; being part of a high-growth company

Cons

Honestly, there are none. If anything, we need more office space to accommodate the rapid growth and new hires (something that leadership has told us they are working on and should be resolved before the end of 2017).

FirstKey Homes Response

Hello! Thank you for your review. We are so happy to hear that you have a hard time thinking of cons to the job or the workplace, other than the fact that we are growing so fast that space is limited. But we are working on that and trying to keep this a great place to work. Thank you for all that you have done to make FirstKey Homes great! Scott
