COMPANY CULTURE
Working in a small business like ours is very different from a large corporation. Some of the differences are:

• Personal tone: Our communications with students are FRIENDLY, FUN, and PERSONAL. It's like talking to your best friend. We use emoji's and exclamation points and are very personal. We take the opposite approach of large corporations that give robotic, frustrating, not very helpful support.

• More creativity: you'll handle a wide variety of tasks and projects. This is more challenging than just following strict templates, but also more stimulating and exciting.

• Impact: your actions will have a big impact on the business, which you will clearly see

• Feedback: your feedback on what we are doing well, and what could be better, is not only valued, but is mandatory! We want everyone here thinking as if they were the business owner.
