Good company that lost its way - Anonymous employee Power Equipment Direct Employee Review

Thank you for posting this review. As you may know, the company had been providing flex working arrangements for those associates who lived in the city of Chicago. 2-3 days/week from home or our satellite office in the city or at our main campus in Bolingbrook, IL. Since the pandemic (March 13th of 2020), having the technologies like MS Teams and a VOIP phone system & other platforms, the company was able to continue operating in a remote work environment. Over the past 18 months the company has published our remote work policy. This has enabled both a better work-life balance for our associates as well as allowed for hybrid/flexible time in the office. Flexible office days range from at home internet outages to vendor meetings held in one of the conference rooms, with some associates simply seeking a change of atmosphere occasionally since our culture is firmly rooted in work friendships. Times change and the company does it's best to keep up with all facets of ensuring our associates are safe, a career pathing plan, competitive if not above market wages along with very affordable healthcare insurance and various other common benefits. I am saddened if any aspect of remote working during your tenure with us wasn't available at the time. Today, our remote work policies have been a positive for current associates as well as the company, which can now also attract talent from the lower 48 States to compliment the outstanding associates we have today in the greater Chicago-land area.
