Working at Keystone is like running up a hill against the wind wearing a parachute

Pros

Large inventory to sale from and the company is well known in the automotive repair industry.

Cons

Management lack the proper training and lacks the desire to ensure that all the orders get delivered when they should be delivered. NO PAY RAISES. Management believes that ISC's should earn their raises by their commission. But due to orders not getting pulled and delivered as promised, it is hard to build your customer base.

Pros

You can wear jeans to work.

Cons

Micro-management to the extreme - direct manager needs multiple updates daily, so much so it interferes with the actual work. Zero on-boarding. Sub-par benefits. Lack of resources and no desire to hire more.
