Pros

Decent pay and benefits package

Cons

If you enjoy being spoken down to by virtue of seniority, this place is for you. I have never experienced such a toxic and negative work environment. The way people throw each other under the bus and badmouth fellow employees is horrifying. My team lead was particularly unpleasant, giving me vague assignments and responding with a shockingly nasty attitude to any questions I had. I have never experienced treatment of this kind in previous roles, even when I was new to the industry. If you’re considering a position at this agency, do yourself a favor and RUN.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your experience at FKQ and we appreciate your positive comments regarding pay and benefits. We work diligently to ensure we are providing competitive compensation packages. It’s terribly disheartening to read your feelings about the work environment at FKQ and specifically your comments regarding your team lead. We are hopeful that while you were here you took an opportunity to address your concerns beyond your individual team’s leadership. In addition to providing competitive pay and benefits we strive to create a positive work environment with employee led social activities and open-door policies for any FKQ’er to speak with any member of management to express any concerns or additional thoughts. Best of luck in your next professional endeavor and if you’d ever like to share more details on your experience, you can always call any member of the Executive Committee at our main number.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take all feedback seriously and the Executive Committee reviews and discusses it all in detail. We are happy to hear you enjoyed working with your coworkers. We strive to offer a work environment that is collaborative and team oriented – so we appreciate that you mentioned there are lots of opportunities to cross-learn. We would agree! Career advancement, competitive compensation and regular feedback on performance have always been a priority for FKQ. We’d value the opportunity to discuss your personal situation. We value the expertise each team member brings to the organization. Our hiring process is designed to bring in professionals who can act as subject matter experts, allowing us to rely on their knowledge to provide valuable insights and direction. However, if an FKQ is interested in additional trainings or professional seminars to continue their professional growth, we are pleased to provide the time and resources based on each request and the need. To maintain consistent communication, we encourage FKQ’ers to share their feedback with their supervisors in their weekly meetings or simply pick up the phone anytime so any concerns can be addressed right away. Again, thank you for your feedback and if you have any additional thoughts to share, please don’t hesitate to call any member of the Executive Committee directly or send an email to feedback@fkq.com.
