Straight North Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The directors that I report to, are so helpful, and approachable and truly want us to succeed and grow within the company.

Review from Marketing Dept

It is quiet enough to get work done, but we also have a good time. We have company and department lunches occasionally, although not during Covid, of course. I don't hear the constant negative comments that I have heard at previous jobs.

Great company culture. Company outings and occasional free lunch is a major plus. Free snacks and drinks are a great benefit too and it's nice to catch up with other team members in the company that you typically may not work with very often over a coffee.

Review from Marketing Dept

Well, before covid when the office was full every day I enjoyed the energy and interaction with the coworkers on our team. It's quite different working mostly remote but still stay in touch with my friends.

I love the work from home flexibility. The culture at our co-working space is great, and even with the opportunity to work from home, I would prefer to come to the office a few days a week.

Review from Marketing Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Hire from within, like you said you do in my interview. Has been hiring remote workers from around the country instead of promoting loyal hardworking employees. Stop saying you treat us like "family" and then take money out of out pockets in a bad economy.

Boss (who is president and CEO of company) is overly critical, flakey, disorganized, forgetful, insulting, arrogant, lazy, slow to learn new things, adapts poorly to new projects, presumptuous, disrespectful, and has a poor sense of personal boundaries. He needs to step away to let others run things
