Pros

High concentration of like-minded people High hiring standards... Even higher working standards Generally a very positive, extremely passionate environment

Cons

Path of advancement generally requires a move to sales Success requires a full commitment to company's larger mission... There is no gray area Some candidates will need to reset their standards for work-life balance. It can be achieved, but working in a high passion environment can affect your priorities

Thanks for your feedback. We totally hear you on the turnover - it's important that our DC team members want to stay with us for the long haul. They are critically important to what we do for our customers on so many levels. Fortunately, with the many improvements we've made this year (additional hourly wage increases, adding more PDOs, additional management and leadership support, etc) we've seen a big improvement in our turnover percentages. We'll keep pressing forward with even more improvements but we like what we've been seeing recently. - Jeff Ostermann, Chief People Officer
