Pros

For the most part, a fun, laid back environment. Fair pay— hourly and commission. Paid holidays, vacation, 401k and health benefits. Flexible and accommodating management. Most employees are knowledgeable and helpful when assistance is needed. As stated in the title- you get what you put in. If you are willing to put in extra work, consistently try to improve upon your skill set, and develop a passion for the job, you will be successful.

Cons

Moderate learning curve. There is A LOT to learn. The only training provided is by riding along with other employees— a chance to pick up bad habits, or to become overwhelmed. (Some employees are better trainers than others). Hourly pay is fair but commission checks don’t amount to much until you become an expert. It can take years to develop these skills, and more accomplished locksmiths will always get the better paying jobs (rightfully so).

Pros

Great people, great work/life balance and very pleasant work environment. Willis Klein was always flexible when personal issues would arise. Customer service and reputation were always #1 with the owner Larry Klein. Over the years 25 employees have left to pursue other opportunities but returned. This illustrates what a fantastic group of employees work at Willis Klein.

Cons

Due to longevity of employment there is an unusually large percentage of employees over 50. Many employees with 30 years plus. This will result in both challenges and opportunities in the immediate future.

Pros

You show up on time and do your job and I promise you will be taken care of. The only bad review I've seen on here is from an employee who was let go and it's definitely because they couldn't meet the requirements I said above. Who let's go of someone who is valuable to their company? No one. So obviously he or she never put forth the effort to become vital to the company or did anything but show up for a paycheck. Again, be a hard worker and be good at your job and you will be taken care of, I promise

Cons

Every job has cons but nothing in particular jumps into the front of my mind. Again, show up and do your job well and the cons are very small
