Pretty poor firm - Recensione dipendente - Locksmith/Engineer presso Keytek

Gives newcomers chance to gain experience across different sectors

Continuous being called, especially when they know your not working, generally office staff are only interested in ticking boxes, sometimes I would be called 5 times or more when not available for work, often offered jobs 30 miles from home address, sometimes even offered work 50 mile from home,

Couple of jobs a day. Good experience at how to rip people off.

They split labour at 60/40 in there favour. Parts are the same but they also add 10% onto purchase price so it's actually 70/30. Average job you get £28 then deduct tax, fuel and expenses you normally left with less than £10 profit if you travel any further than 20 miles you often make a loss if you follow HMRC guidance for fuel expense ect. Sub contracted for over 7 years and most the people there don't even know who I am yet alone completing there NCFE course. They expect you to drive 40+ miles then get angry if you decline. Describing the jobs is a stab in the dark often getting the job completely wrong. Prob op UPVC door normally means locked out of a wooden door mortice ect Ran by people who have zero locksmith experience and there tec team is about a useful as a chocolate fire guard. 24/7 help??? they are normally closed by 8pm. Course is over priced and teaches very basic stuff. There are better companies out there that offer better splits and actually know who you are. Advertising as local??? Expect you to deal with disgruntled customers and you go back to any recalls for free or they take it out your wages regardless of your situation.
