Thank you for taking the time to share your positive review! We're happy to hear that you appreciate the sense of autonomy and trust we have in all of our employees. We wouldn't be as successful as we are today without our fantastic people, and we're dedicated to continuing to build upon our supportive culture. Since our business has grown very quickly over the past few years, admittedly, our technology hasn't been able to keep up at times. However, we have recently hired our VP of Technology and we are very excited about the new strategic vision that she brings to the team.

Pros

An entire People & Culture team dedicated to making the employee experience top notch. CEO who cares deeply about his employees.

Cons

As with so many other businesses, the Company has experienced a downturn due to COVID-19. But I have confidence that management has made necessary adjustments and we are on track to make it through the pandemic and come out stronger on the other end.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on our commitment to creating a great employee experience! The management team holds office hours every week to give all employees the opportunity to have their voice be heard and their ideas be put into action. While we needed to make difficult decisions as a result of COVID-19's impact on the economy, like you, we're also confident that we'll make it through even stronger than we were before.
