Great Experience - Leadership CareScout Employee Review

Our work has a social mission: We make a difference for people in crisis every day. We help people navigate eldercare and make it easier for them to focus on their loved ones instead of trying to learn everything on their own. Career growth: I started in 2008 as the finance leader. I was promoted a few years later to lead operations and again recently to lead the business. Past and current business leadership has always supported my development when I took the initiative to learn other functions of the business beyond my own. I've always gone above and beyond my responsibilities to help out when I've seen that there has been a business need. I believe this has been a key component of my success here. The opportunity to truly influence the business: Given the size of the company and pace of growth the ability to meaningfully influence the business is available to everyone, in any function. If you see a problem you can talk about it and propose solutions. They may not always be implemented but you can still stand out as someone who is thinking about how to improve what we do and as someone who takes initiative and who cares. The people here are great: There is a diverse mix of career backgrounds and experiences here which I love because I am constantly learning from them and am challenged to think about things from many different points of view. The people I work with are supportive of each other and care about the work they do. Everyone here works really hard! I genuinely enjoy the people I work with. The CareScout Cares group: Volunteer group with a mission to help create a positive employee experience and foster community service and teamwork. The team is enthusiastic and creative and they come up with great ideas and functions that bring people together. Fast breaks: It is fun to work with the managers to come up with engaging employee recognition activities. We frequently take 'fast breaks' to give everyone an unexpected break from their work and have a little fun (and usually involves food). We do this to say thank you for everyone's hard work. The managers really get excited about planning these breaks and will often compete with each other to out perform the previous activity. The company benefits: 4 weeks of time off to start, full health benefits, casual dress code, generous 401K matching, etc.
