Constructive Feedback From Classy Llama Employees

  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    I have taken on a plethora of new responsibilities and I do not feel that I have been compensated fairly as we have absorbed many positions within the company in the past year. I understand that we need to be mindful of spending, but we also should reward those who have absorbed these positions.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    I feel like starting compensation was fine. Its been a bit disheartening to go years without so much as a bonus or yearly raise. When I was hired, I was told there would be a bonus structure and that got taken away when it was time to payout after we had a bad year financially as a company.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    I’m eager to take on additional responsibilities within my role. I believe my experience and skill set enable me to contribute even more to the company by offering solutions and adding value across different area

  • Ping Pong may be a game, but that doesn't mean we play around. Watch our CEO, Kurt Theobald, and our sales wunderkind, Austin Hovey, battle for ultimate Ping Pong supremacy in the 2021 tournament final. Fair warning ... these boys are intense.
  • Llamas never pass up a chance to celebrate each other—or a chance to play! The Classy Llama 14th anniversary party was the perfect opportunity to do both. Here's to another 14 years (at least)! ????????
  • Some of our Classy Lladies hangin' out and having fun at our 2022 Summit
  • Happy devs in their natural environment
  • Here at Classy Llama we’re incredibly serious, mainly about eCommerce … ???????????? But also about food and fun! Which is why, if you happen to open the door to the Revenue Team office on a random Tuesday, you MIGHT see them wearing togas and eating tacos… because why not?! Henceforth this event will be remembered as Toga Tacos in Classy Llama Legend! Thanks for making us laugh, Rev Team!
