Pluspunten
The heart of our business is centered on helping people become their best selves at work. If you can ignore the other noise and remind yourself why you're here, it's easy to choose to work and stay at Torch over and over again. Taking risks is encouraged. Comp and benefits are competitive This is the furthest company from traditional HR, and most of the time that's a good thing.
Minpunten
Uncomfortable sense of judgment and that Torch is so much more enlightened than other companies and it feels horrible. It manifests as thinking we are "on the right side of history" but it comes across as denigrating our customers. Our customers are the reason my kids have enough to eat, so it's a terrible feeling to build relationships with companies making their own business decisions, only to hear your exec team talk crap about them. This is more of a warning to anyone wanting to work here, but you need to understand that refusing to participate in the woke olympics will be career-limiting. You will be accused of white fragility or enabling white supremacy if you push back on the identity politics and half-baked social justice initiatives constantly coming at you. Executives will tell you that none of this is accurate, that you can come to office hours and disagree, but that isn't true. Conservatives and "Trump supporters" are openly mocked. This may be a pro to some and that's awesome, you might do really well here, but understand that it is an echo chamber where dissenting opinions are not welcome. That is not conducive to growth and learning. No real promotional or growth opportunities.
