Pros

If you're into cars and accessories it's interesting for the first week. Good learning experience. You will appreciate your next job and former jobs more than you could ever have imagined.

Cons

They work you long hours in the ware house in dirty conditions and little to no concern for basic human rights. I am surprised they are allowed to operate the way they do from a legal stand point. I also worked in sales as well as the warehouse. Sales was just as frustrating. Nearly unachievable goals are set and the computers could be sold on American Pickers...they freeze up often and the system for looking up parts is the most un-user friendly computer program I have ever experienced.

Pros

Good discount on auto parts for your car or truck. You can look at the streetsideauto.com website because Keystone owns that and is able to offer good discounts to undercut the competition.

Cons

Outsourcing of jobs to india. Upper management is overpaid and they like it that way. Look at the cars in the parking lot in Exeter PA. High employee turnover because the company is constantly being sold.

Pros

Ed Orzetti has vision and the guts to be aggressive in trying new ideas and entering new markets. I don't agree with all his decisions but I do applaud his general management style and aggressive nature. I think Ed and the Senior Leadership Team does follow the core values of the company. There is always room for improvement, but given the current economic environment I think they are doing a great job.

Cons

Outsourcing jobs to India. I have strong opinions about outsourcing in general. I'm not opposed to it because I think America has decided to overpay people for menial jobs; however I do think that intellectual jobs (accounting, etc.) need to remain in the states. These jobs can be sourced more cheaply in Asia, but you truly get what you pay for. Also the attitude of employees in Exeter is poor and needs improvement.
