Pros
One of the reasons I took a position with Zapproved was that we have a woman CEO. I had worked for years in hospitality where misogyny was rampant. I really wanted to be a part of a team that was led by a woman and where being inclusive was a core value. That has been at Zapproved’s core since I started. Zapproved has trusted me to grow with them and explore my strengths and push myself to be a better human and a better Zapprovian. We have a learning culture, which I appreciate. I take pride in managing their workplace experience and leading their diversity, equity and inclusion work. This work is so important not just for our team, but for the community. We truly care about creating a culture where folks can thrive. We recently released our salary bands to the company and I have never worked for a company that has done this before. The best part is that Zapproved has an awesome team of people to work with. Not just my immediate team, but as a whole I couldn’t work with better group of individuals. Every day I am excited to come to work with people who are passionate about what they do.
Cons
We are having some growing pains as we put systems in place as we continue to grow.
