Pros

A steady paycheck, decent benefits and end of year merit bonus

Cons

Little to no advancement opportunities, unless you are related to upper management or have put at least 5 years in. Not worth the headache of big brother corporate dictating your every move...then criticizing you for ever making a decision on your own, even if you have 10 years of experience and a reasonable amount of intelligence. Pass.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We appreciate both the good reviews and the bad. I am sorry to read about the Cons you mention. We are, and have been, a quickly growing company for the last year and a half and with that comes great opportunities to grow as we do. We want and encourage every Team Member to strive to become a bigger part of what we are doing every day. I am sad to see that you thought otherwise. I do appreciate your point of view and I am sorry to see you felt micro-managed. This is not something we strive to do nor is it common practice across the company. I will pass along your thoughts though and make sure it is addressed if it is present anywhere within the company. Thank you for all that you did for FirstKey Homes. Scott

Pros

-Really nice community events -Free coffee -An elevator

Cons

-Imagine working for a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off and every chicken thinks they have the answer to every solution. -Lack of communication leads to constant double work throughout each month. People literally stay late everyday working on these projects.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to write your review, however I am saddened to read it. At FirstKey Homes, we have what we like to consider a rapidly growing work environment in that, as we quickly grow as a company, we quickly grow as employees as well. And with any company that is growing rapidly, a fast paced work environment comes with it. We understand that it may not be for everyone and I am sorry you feel the way you feel as a result of this. We do try to hire the best of the best for the jobs we have in order to keep the level of growth organized. It is a vital piece of our success. With any company, things can always be better, and we acknowledge and continue to learn and grow. I appreciate your thoughts and will pass them along to the proper people. I wish you luck wherever your career takes you and thank you for all that you did at FirstKey Homes. Scott
