New Hire Support and Onboarding Excellence

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Core States has an impressive onboarding support system. I started as a fully remote employee and each support department (accounting, IT, HR, marketing, etc) had reached out to me with resources and how-tos as well as 1:1 meetings to get to know the team. I've never felt as supported in my first few days at a new role than I have here. Any reservations I had about working fully remote have disappeared entirely.

Cons

I'm bummed I haven't yet met many colleagues in person, but I am fully remote, and know that opportunities to do so will arise.
