"My sobriety or my career."
|
|
I am an employee of Tim Galante’s and about a year ago I came forward to him that I was an alcoholic, I was extremely nervous about doing so as I was not sure of what the ramifications might be. Tim was amazing in the support that he gave me, I could not have asked for a better response. He was supportive in my work life making sure I was comfortable in all company functions as well as just caring on a personal side. When I read this review as a fellow alcoholic, I was furious with this person’s attack on Tim’s character as well as the attack on the company. Since I told Tim that I was an alcoholic he and the company have gone out of their way without me even asking to make sure I was supported 100% with my addiction. I do not believe this statement to be true as I have first-hand experience with this same situation and this story is the exact opposite of how things were handled in my case. If this person is real and not just a fabricated story I would ask you to have a real conversation with Tim about your addiction, you will not be judged or looked at differently you will be supported and made to feel comfortable and truly cared about.

Growth and Transition
|
|
Key Technical Solutions has undergone a period of transition to re-direct focus and reshape old models. All change has growing pains and many times those who disagree with that change leaves. Key is a resilient company that has been a big player in the market for 25 years. They understand their employees have lives outside of work and allow flexibility for family and personal obligations. The benefits offered are competitive to other companies this size and they have a big book of business that gives you great exposure and experience on both sides of the business. The people here now are positive and on the same page with direction and growth which is exciting.

Great Place to Start But Don't Stay Long
|
|
You can potentially work on a wide variety of projects in a short amount of time.
Working here can be a great way to get a grasp of how different companies function and products are made/designed.
Working here is a great way to build a diverse skill set.
|
Upper management is too worried about being billable and making profits rather than treating employees and clients with dignity.
KTS does not invest in their own employees. EX: Lays off employees if they are not working on a billable project instead of training them in different programs to help employees diversify their skill set to further improve the company's capabilities. I have seen too many great employees just dropped from the payroll because management didn't want to absorb some costs over a short period of time.
If you are planning on leaving KTS DO NOT give 2 week notice. Key Tech does not allow you to continue to work and doesn't pay for those two weeks. They do not care if you have brought them profitable business for multiple years. They will cut costs when given the chance.
The CEO/majority owner of company travels to Florida for vacation a lot.

Under the microscope
|
|
Turn over rate is extremely high, so you get thrust into leadership positions when people leave or are fired without additional pay or compensation. The negative reviews are true. Positive ones are from owners, part owners, directors, or family! Do the math..
|
This place is creepy! Never Have worked in an office with so many cameras. I mean really? All the doors are locked and everyone needs a badge to enter, but they still need cameras everywhere including the lunch room. The is supposedly an engineering firm. Why do they need cameras everywhere?
As for the work, the only engineering this company does is the lowest level detailing that companies don't want to do and feel comfortable outsourcing. If you like high turn over, always being on the bubble, being watched all the time, low level meaningless work, no career path, etc. Then this is a great company for you.

Game of Thrones - Good Show, bad business model
|
|
The HBO show is just fiction.
|
The Key Technical Solutions story is NOT fiction.
1. Leadership is a grandiose bunch to be sure. They lead by fear. Every single sales person from one year ago has quit. The math is quite doable.
2. Follows employees with company provided phones, and throws accusations at employees as if it was WWII Germany. Really.
3. The environment is the MOST NEGATIVE I have ever been in. Focus on former employees and competition is Key Technical Solutions unwritten Mission Statement.
4. CEO hires family members for strategic positions without regard for their qualifications.
5. Advise to any Sales/Recruitment professionals entertaining an opportunity at Key Technical Solutions - look at former employees on LinkedIn and contact ANY former Sales/Recruitment employee who left in the last 12 months, I think you will be thankful at what you hear.

Therapy could help. Basic education is always a plus. Ability to recognize the inherent difference between movie scenes depicting business versus actual business acumen and practices. People really are not afraid of them, they just don't want to work for them. Come to the realization that Business Ethics is a necessity and not a condiment in the lunch room, it should be there all the time, not just once in a while.

Family comes first
|
|
A great company top to bottom. There were a number of employees that broke off and started a competing firm...likely the source of the bad reviews posted here. One of few companies I've ever worked at that recognize that family time is #1. Hours are infinitely flexible so long as a full work week is achieved and you don't miss client meetings. Clients and therefor work is always changing, so you never get bored. Management is always very receptive to employees problems. Advancement is a little limited, but if you ever want to leave, they will help you find your next job without any hard feelings.
|
Can be a little too much variety for some.
Vacation and pay could be a little bit better.

I have been in business for over 30 years. I can say without equivocation that Key Technical has provided me with the best experience I've ever had as an employee. The entire leadership and management team has an open door policy. The best tools are provided for getting our jobs done. There is no micromanagement. The leadership gives us the tools and lets us do our jobs. Frequent unexpected and greatly appreciated perks to remind all employees that they are valued. Loyalty, openness, and trust in a family atmosphere is an apt description of the Key work experience. I give this team a five-star rating from top to bottom because they deserve it. If you get a chance to work for Key, seriously consider it.
|
There is nothing I can say negative about this company.
