ABOUT YOU, AND ABOUT US
We seek an individual who is professional by nature and like dealing with a high-paced, ever-changing, challenging, yet creative environment. Fun personalities and smiles are important, but a strong dedication and willingness to succeed are also required. You must have a very positive mindset. We work hard and we play hard. We start at 7:30a, often work late (as in 6:30p-7:00p), but can't wait until you help us convert to a "normal" 4-day work week (sometime in 2010-11). If you must leave everyday promptly at 5:30p, this may not be for you. An entrepreneurial spirit, as well as out-of-the-box creativity and vision highly encouraged. If you worked for “corporate” but now feel you’d like to be part of a collaborative building environment where your opinions count and you can make a difference, you may find us intriguing. We'd love this person to be promoted to a higher level position within the year. Our industry is actually expecting a 3.1% increase this year. Our company has decided not to participate in the recession.
