It’s not always easy working at a company in its early stages of production, but the pros vastly outweigh the cons, and honesty the cons just feed into the pros.
It is certainly a fast-paced environment. Because of what we do and where we are in our journey, we sometimes need to pivot priorities. This can be frustrating for some folks; it adds to the challenge for sure but navigating through these challenges with the team is part of what makes working here gratifying.
This isn’t a place that’s been doing the same thing for 50 years; don’t expect to find everything laid out for you when you get here. We’re building the future, the processes, the systems; this takes time and the road isn’t always smooth, but that’s part of the package.
SHINE manages safety and risk in an appropriate manner. You can’t innovate without challenging the status quo.
SHINE is in a different place operationally and financially at this stage. Some of the more thoughtful reviews from past years touch on where we were. The more negative reviews are unfortunate; a handful of them are clearly disgruntled folks with an ax to grind.
The more thoughtful criticisms speak to previous challenges at SHINE. We’ve been in some tough spots, but more due to external market challenges in my opinion.
Turnover was a problem for a bit, but this has turned around, a very encouraging sign/metric that we’re heading in the right direction.
