Employees say: “You are treated as a professional regardless of position or status, and with that you are allowed to manage your time however you see fit to get the job done. We have a lot of freedom in the workplace.”
Million Dollar Baby
Furniture
Employees say: “People truly care about the happiness and well-being of each other. They go above and beyond to celebrate each other's life events and accomplishments. For example, last week someone bought their first house and was scrambling to get it ready to move in. Her team showed up during the weekend to help build furniture and to help her fix the house. This is a testament to how much they care about each other. Everyone is empowered to propose new ideas, challenge the status quo, and to make an impact. We define the culture in great detail through our best practices or behaviors that we want our people to demonstrate. This allows new hires to understand what it means to be an amazing team member very quickly.”
