Pros

Denise is a wonderful Area Manager

Cons

As an employee, DO NOT WORK FOR THEKEY unless you want to work for free as an indentured servant. If you ever have the displeasure of working for TheKey, be sure to count all your hours and check your pay stubs every single week. Be sure they are paying you the pay rate they promise and all your overtime pay. Their systems to clock in never work and their supervisors do not assure that those hours are counted for you. When you ask HR to help look into it they always say they will later or they don't have time and make excuses. THESE PEOPLE ARE THIEVES THAT STEAL MONEY FROM THEIR EMPLOYEES IMAGINE HOW THEY TREAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I heard so many fellow caregivers complain about how their checks were short and soon enough, it started to happen to me. Unfortunately, times are rough and it is something most people deal with. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING AT THEKEY.

Pros

The mission is meaningful, and many employees genuinely care about the clients and caregivers they serve. There are talented people throughout the organization who work hard and do their best despite significant challenges. Remote work flexibility is also a positive.

Cons

The company struggles with consistency, accountability, and communication. Priorities frequently change, decisions are often made without considering operational impact, and employees are expected to adapt with little guidance or support. There is a noticeable culture of favoritism. Opportunities, visibility, flexibility, and influence often appear to be driven more by relationships with leadership than by performance or results. Employees are not always held to the same standards, which creates frustration and damages trust. The organization relies heavily on employees to compensate for process gaps, staffing challenges, and system issues rather than addressing root causes. As a result, burnout is common and turnover remains a challenge. Frequent restructuring and shifting priorities make it difficult to build momentum, retain institutional knowledge, or execute long-term strategies effectively. Employees are often asked to do more with less while receiving limited transparency around decisions that directly impact their work. For a company that depends on dedicated employees to drive results, there is often a disconnect between leadership messaging and the day-to-day employee experience.
