Pros

I have never felt more valued at a workplace than I do working here. Leadership says they're big on transparency, and they mean it. The environment as a whole is welcoming, accepting, and encouraging. Your voice is listened to and valued. The CEO schedules one-on-one meetings every few months to get to know you and ensure you're being heard. The biggest shock to me was coming on board and being told so many times how important customer service was to business, and then being shown that the leadership really believes that. Our team doesn't get the "short end of the stick", we don't get left out of conversations, or brushed to the side when decisions are made.

Cons

It's still a young company, and there will always be things to improve on- though I can't currently think of anything specific

Thanks for the sweet review! Creating a transparent, welcoming, and accepting culture is integral to the success of the Rocketship and is top of mind for the senior leadership team and myself. The Squad’s opinion matters and our sweet culture is the culmination of actioning on the Squad’s feedback. I value our Squad 1x1s as an opportunity to catch up and connect with you on both a professional and personal basis. If you want to connect further, please do not hesitate to set up additional time to chat. We are only 6 years old and I agree we can always continue to improve, if you have any ideas please voice them to anyone on the leadership team as we are all on the Mission to Mars together. Have a sweet day, Douglas MacFarlane, CEO

Pros

Amazing virtual Onboarding experience! Very organized from the start of my first day! Loved that I had the chance to meet lots of members from different departments! The Rocketship moves fast, but Squad Members are very supportive from the start! And unlimited candy!!

Cons

Not being able to work with my Squad Members in the office due to Covid-19.

Thank you for the feedback! Setting new Squad Members up for success is very important to our Kick Sugar mission, which is why we put so much effort into a 90 day onboarding program. Like you, I can’t wait until we can be back in Candyland HQ. Keeping the Squad connected is always top of mind. Have a sweet day, Douglas MacFarlane, CEO

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and sharing so many of our awesome pros. As a high growth start-up, I know we have areas of opportunity. It's with candid feedback from our Squad Members we can continue to evolve and improve. I encourage you to reach out to me or any member of our leadership team to talk through opportunities you see on how we can evolve, it sounds like you will have some amazing suggestions we can implement. Your feedback and recommendations means the world to me. Thank you, Tara Bosch CEO+Founder
