Pros

There's a lot to be involved with , both at work and in the community. Most of the employees at Corporate that I've encountered are friendly and helpful.

Cons

The benefits and pay are sub par for singles, especially single parents. I have only been with Torch a few years but have never felt so under valued. I have had some issues with a customer and when I sought help/advice, I was basically told to suck it up and deal with it, that the customer matters more. I do not feel supported by management and truly feel that because I am not a big player in the game, I don't matter. I'm sure once you matter enough, you will enjoy the company. But as of now, my benefits and pay do not make up for the struggle and frustration. I am very disappointed because all I ever heard was how great this company was.

It is difficult for any organization to be perfect, but we are always disappointed to hear when anyone has formed a negative opinion of our company. As an employee-owned company, we work very hard to provide our fellow employee-owners with excellent opportunities both professionally and personally. Just a few examples include working with employees each year to develop career goals, conducting voluntary training sessions open to every employee-owner, and also hosting 16 employee morale and welfare events throughout the year for employee-owners and their families to enjoy and to maintain a good work-life balance. Because we are all owners at Torch, we also encourage our employee-owners to take advantage of our open-door policy to communicate their goals and concerns with any level of management - even with our CEO. While there is always room for improvement, we believe that our approach to open communication creates an empowering environment for our employees. We also believe that this is one of the reasons Torch was recognized again by Fortune and Great Place to Work as one of the nation's best workplaces for the third consecutive year and why Torch consistently achieves one of the lowest voluntary turnover rates in our industry.

Pros

Torch is an all-around excellent organization. I have been here for about 9 years now and continue to be impressed by the commitment to the individual that exists at all levels of management here. The amount of time, effort, and funding that goes into promoting a positive workplace culture and work/life balance is certainly impressive. This company realizes that its employee-owners are its greatest asset and makes sure to promote that with its actions. * Employee stock option plan (ESOP) * Competitive salary and benefits package * Torch HELPS charity * Young professionals focused activities * Company sponsored family activities (movie nights, children's Christmas party, etc.) * Growing company with many opportunities for advancement

Cons

Torch has experienced impressive growth over the last several years, so there has been the occasional "growing pain" in certain areas. The company works diligently to address these issues and has always been open to suggestions in all areas of management.
