Pros
If you’ve ever pondered the difference between a good place to work and a great one, the answer is simple; a good company builds an infrastructure based on profit, while a great one builds an infrastructure based on its people. If we can all agree that a great place to work is one of the hallmarks of quality life, then one should consider Adorama Rentals for their next career. It was during my first interview with Thakur Wint, Adorama’s talent acquisition manager, that I sensed that this company was different. He seemed to exhibit genuine excitement for Adorama’s rapid expansion and great success, made possible by building an exceptional work environment around exceptional talent, combined with the kind of management philosophy that inspires their employees to be great at their job. Except- -If you’ve been hands-on with the New York job market, you are rightfully justified in treating everything in the first two paragraphs with a considerable amount of skepticism, as experience has taught most of us that all corporate jobs are a form of suffering that we must sacrifice to society in exchange for two-weeks paid and an occasional three-day weekend. I too was once the person who thought this to be true and believed exceptions to this rule only existed in the wistful, happy-hour fantasies of the common cube-dweller. All of that changed on my first day on the job. I’m not going to bore you with talk of benefits package and job-related perks(because any company can do that), just know that they are there. This is a company with a president that is genuinely accessible, bosses that I genuinely respect, and a market strategy that is genuinely intelligent. What’s even more remarkable is that my colleagues seem to carry a rarefied air that only comes from being a part of a family that they are proud of.
