4yWow! I'm sorry your experience has been so negative and am surprised you have stuck around. Your feedback is indeed a gift, even if we don't entirely agree with all of it. Of particular note was your statement on micromanagement -- I don't like that kind of environment either. At the same time, we know what works in terms of the activities required to drive the outcomes we are seeking for our business. I strongly believe that all of us as team members can "earn the right to be left alone" by consistently executing well on the basics, and I hope you can earn that right if you remain with us. You also mentioned how we paid for a survey when all we needed to know is right here on such online reviews. Interestingly, you might be surprised to find that the survey results from the "paid survey" showed the External Sales team, which you identify as a part of, as the most engaged and positive out of all of our departments. No doubt, the feedback we receive from online reviews is also relevant and we will use all of it in pursuit of getting better at what we do. Thanks again for your feedback!

4yThanks for sharing your feedback. Remote work is both a hot and important topic. My belief is that the pandemic forced us to try something (remote work) that we did not previously have the courage to try. We learned that it can be an effective strategy, but it is not ideal in all circumstances and for all roles. Presently, and two years after the pandemic lockdowns began, we still have team members assigned to our Vegas HQ office who work 100% remotely. We are still working to figure out the right mix going forward in terms of which roles it is best for and under what circumstances. We respectfully disagree that the basis for our decisions on this matter are due to a lack of trust. For some roles, the requirements of the role just don’t lend themselves to a high mix of remote work. For other roles, we are more likely to consider 100% remote or some sort of hybrid (2 days in, 3 days remote). Our stance on this topic will continue to evolve over time and remain important for consideration as we face competition to hire new talent in pursuit of our growth objectives.
