Incredible workplace culture.

Digital crisis worker

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

From peers to upper management, everyone seems to be extremely passionate and dedicated to the mission and vision. There are always opportunities to expand horizons and learn something new. Professional development opportunities are basically boundless, so long as initiative for growth is demonstrated. Can't think of a better place to call work.

Cons

The nature of the work is incredibly stressful and depressing at times. Trevor offers spaces to unpack the day to day challenges, but it's important to keep in mind that crisis management requires an ability to stay calm and focused through difficult subject matter. Also, as things are all virtual at the moment, the work can feel detached and lonely. Take care of yourself.
