Pros

They bring in lunch sometimes, a lot of activities

Cons

This job took a huge toll on my mental health, it was one of those positions where I would wake up dreading going to work. The management was awful - never felt like I fit in or anyone valued my opinion, they hardly acknowledge you unless you've been there for more than 5 years. You had to constantly walk on eggshells and I got to the point where I was terrified to send a simple email for fear any little thing I said wasn't good enough for management. I literally had to get approval for EVERYthing I did (simple emails to clients, everything). The micromanaging is INSANE. I've never experienced that level of people constantly watching every little thing you say or do. They keep people around that they probably shouldn't because of tenure, but a lot of those people need to desperately uplevel their skills. I honestly would never recommend this place to anyone.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value all feedback and take it very seriously. Most especially when it involves the mental health of a team member. As you identified yourself as a former employee, we hope that you shared this same feedback with your supervisor while you were on the team. As a company, we work hard to create a culture where everyone feels valued regardless of their tenure. If that wasn’t your experience, we would value the opportunity to understand more about all of the comments in your review that are counter to the environment we strive to cultivate. We would be most appreciative if you could share more specifics with any member of the Executive Committee by calling one of us directly or sending an email to feedback@fkq.com.

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.
