Whether that’s new systems, new processes, or new approaches, we look for individuals who can adapt and thrive. You must believe that the best contributors should get better rewards. As a company, we believe in paying people based on the value they generate at the business. You must be willing to disagree and commit. As a growing business, there will be lots of decisions that get made and changes that occur during your time at the company. Some of which you’ll agree with and some you don’t, we strongly believe that the best team members have the ability to disagree and commit (i.e., going with a decision after it has been made regardless of whether or not you agree). You must believe the status quo is unacceptable. As a growing company and as individuals, we believe the status quo is unacceptable. Everyone should be relentless in striving to be the best version of themselves and figure out ways to create more value at the company, enhance our customer's results, and grow professionally. The question should always be “How can I be better” rather than “How can expectations be adjusted”.
