How employees describe working at Firewood Marketing
The best working enviromnet ever
Merger has brought a lack of communication, massive amounts of bureaucratic red tape, and little or no plan for how we work with our new sibling companies. However the benefits are still very good and have improved since the merger.
Honest, transparent, down to earth
Lack of respect, favoritism among male leadership, lack of compensation, zero transparency, no sense of career growth.
Being clear about needs early in the process. Guidance is necessary for folks to fly on their own.

What benefits does Firewood Marketing provide?
Top Employee Response
The ability to set your own schedule, work as many or as few hours as you want. Getting to work outside everyday. And at the end of the day you get to make someone's day by bringing them a quality product that is going to save them money during heating season. Everyone appreciates a product that saves them money, so I have very happy customers. And that makes me feel good!
Little to none, if you are embedded you get to use your clients benefits which is great!
all the basics, but not many extras. you won't get a gym membership reimbursement or big bonuses. the best benefit is a light workload and a work schedule that's more like a banker's than a start-up
