Pros

Very autonomous. Flexible schedule. Easy going work environment.

Cons

First off, there is a serious lack of communication. You are left alone to figure out issues and problems because the people above you are clueless to what is going on in stores. This is due to the fact that you are servicing big box stores and their environment is independent building supply companies. Maybe a sales/merchandiser role for all big box stores would help, where sole responsibility is on that person. The company seems to relish in fixing broken equipment instead of buying new equipment. They languish in old plants instead of building modern facilities, where all production of all products can take place. This would save tranportation cost. There is no promotions. If you want to move up, via another position, you have apply like like non- employees. Any assessment, for a position, a skills test is done. They don't just promote.

Pros

I can't think of any

Cons

Very old-school management style and, in my experience, lacks a strong values-driven culture. Speaking up or raising concerns was not always welcomed, and at times it felt like employees could be penalized for doing so. Management could be unprofessional, including yelling and dismissive communication. I also observed situations where women were not treated with the same level of respect or fairness. HR did not feel like a reliable resource for employees. It seemed to be involved mainly when management needed support with employee-related issues, rather than serving as a neutral function. There was also a lack of structure around performance reviews, career development, and merit-based salary increases. I would not recommend QK to someone looking for a healthy work environment, professional leadership, or clear growth opportunities.
