Good Company; no expectations for personal growth.

Business Outlook

Pros

ESOP is tremendous. Your actual interaction with Torch in minimal which is not necessarily a bad thing. Overall a good company that treated me well.

Cons

Despite the constant rebuttal to all of these cons: The truth is as a contractor (if that is what you are) you are a hired gun. Promotion opportunities are nonexistent. You can set career goals, work with a task lead, etc etc to no avail. As a contractor, you are hired to perform a specific function. Once you outgrow that, it is time to leave. Additionally raises are sub-standard, but thats almost a given anywhere.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are glad that you recognize and appreciate Torch's unique culture, as well as our commitment to providing excellent benefits for our employee-owners through our ESOP! We would encourage you to speak directly with your supervisor regarding your compensation and raises. As you know, as an employee-owner of our company, your total compensation includes not only your salary, but many additional benefits and Employee Stock Ownership Plan contributions each year, and your supervisor or our HR manager would be happy to review those with you!

Good leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

The higher up leadership is completely transparent on anything that affects the employees

Cons

They are growing, and there are some growing pains. However, they try to keep the non-management employees from having to be affected. Compensation could be a bit higher in comparison to other companies, but that is made up for with the ESOP.
