Weirdest culture ever...

Pros

The outsiders help you navigate through this company once they see you aren't part of the cliques and they are some of the most accepting and wonderful people once you find them.

Cons

It is one of the strangest almost childish companies I have ever worked for. There are cliques of people like high school. Speaking of, employees decorate the cars of their peers for their birthdays like kids decorate lockers in junior high school. The culture is very Utah and company wide emails about hiring someone's relative because they are in the same ward as someone else are acceptable to be sent to the entire company (mind blown). If you are not from Utah, you will be thoroughly confused as to what is going on in this strange secret society and will most likely not be accepted, wanted or liked, which makes it very hard to do a job. True story - I once had a Director level person enter my office, sit down and tell me that they were married for eternity and then proceed to talk negatively about a certain gendered group of people. I left soon after that.

Pros

The perks are numerous, the food is great, pay you to be healthy, charge my car, develop my skills and teach me new ones, motivate me to be better, and I could go on and on. But the best thing about working here is the people!!! Definitely the people!!!

Cons

There are treadmills, but your not forced to use them :)

We often tell people that the reason we have a wellness center is because we have a professional chef working for us, lol. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback AND for the 3+ years of service.
