SWCA Environment Employee Reviews

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

everyone seems to be genuinely interested in getting to know each other

Review from Marketing Dept

The people I work with are funny and kind.

Review from Marketing Dept

Employee ownership and treating employees like people

Caring, value employees, trying to be transparent as a company, values sustainability, inclusive of diversity and proactive about instituting policies that promote diversity and inclusion.

My team and my office are all similar in our interests, preferences, and personalities and we all get along well and work well together, and have fun doing it.

Team work, at least among most of the staff with whom I work.

The company is loyal to employees, even to the extent that some who don't perform as well as their pay grade reflects are tolerated, maintained, or even advanced, and there are generally good opportunities for professional development and competitive benefits.

We all get each other. No negativity, no judgments.

care for others and support of hobbies outside of work

I love the Gives Back programs. I think it's amazing that it's just not Corporate Staff who does the Gives Back programs. That all across the US, at all of our offices, we all do something to give back to the community. And that we are able to take time away from work to participate.

Review from Finance Dept

This is a company that stands by its values and endeavors with each step to ensure that we are not only maintain but reinforce these values.

Everyone is friendly and helpful, and interactions are very genuine. SWCA also back up what they say. If they say they care about a person's mental health, the MEAN it.

The ability to work remotely, but availability of a local team member to connect with as necessary. Also, longevity of some relationships.
