Pros

There are a few really great people that work at FKQ.

Cons

Heavy micromanagement. There's no new employee onboarding process. Collaboration is almost discouraged. They'll hire you for your expertise, but then not take any input into consideration. I was misled from the beginning as to what the role was going to entail. Leadership is accusatory, unknowledgeable, and there's a whole family dynamic to tip-toe around. There's no process, no documentation of best practices, and no priority placed on work-life balance. It's a very dismal place to work. There were people literally crying due to being overworked and micromanaged. If you value your own mental well-being you'll work somewhere else.

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.
