Fun place to work - Sales Representative Pike13 Employee Review

The people at Front Desk are smart, talented people and I really enjoy working with everyone on the team. Every team member is willing to go above and beyond to help empower our customers to be successful using Front Desk to grow their businesses. Front Desk is on track to become a profitable start-up and there is a lot of opportunity for team members to contribute to the success of the business and positively impact our customers and communities in which our product is used.

The company is transitioning from a start-up to an emerging company. With that comes change, which can be challenging at times. There has been some turnover which has impacted the morale, but in turn as given us the opportunity to find the right people to help us take Front Desk to the next level.

This is the first place I've worked where I'm happy to show up every day. There is no corporate BS and everyone gets along as if we've known each other for years. While we are encouraged to work hard, there is still a great work-life balance. If something comes up and you need to work from home, no problem. We're all issued laptops so we have the freedom to work wherever we want. But why wouldn't I want to come to the office daily? My friends are here, we get snacks, dogs visit us regularly, and the company has a monthly stipend to cover parking expenses. Capitol Hill can be a pain when it comes to finding cheap or free parking (without getting a ticket), and this is very helpful. The new leadership has a plan to make the company successful, inside and out. They've spent several months identifying our "gaps" and now proactively work to fill them. They are also making sure we are working efficiently with the right goals in mind. I'm excited to see where 2016 takes us!

Admittedly, there has been a high turnover rate through the last 6 months. Looking back, many of the employees who left weren't very engaged and had different career paths in mind. This startup is going through a big growth stage, and I don't know any other company that hasn't been through a tough time like this without losing talent. Luckily, we have a plan to hire and retain the right people in the right roles as we grow over the next few years.
