Pros

Sometime give you a free pizza as lunch.

Cons

Husband as CEO, wife as accounting, three girls as marketing and admin. Cannot see any career room for employees. They didn't trust technology developers and a lot of micro management. No great business strategy, no way to further grow up. Except getting your salary and go home, you cannot expect any further career growing in such small family business.

I'm sorry you had an unsuccessful experience at ClubRunner. There's lots of inaccuracies in your review. We greatly value the contributions of our team (23 and growing), and retain people who exemplify our culture of passion, positivity, and continuous improvement. All team members who succeed develop their careers and thrive. The company is on the Profit 500 list of fastest-growing companies in Canada, and has received industry recognition, all a result of everyone's incredible work and contributions. That said, our environment is not for everyone. Those who succeed here are driven and fully-engaged team players. We hate micro-management (we're too busy for that) and it's typically a red flag of someone who is not a good fit.

Pros

The Culture: Its great, the team is made of reserved and caring individuals. Every opinion is treated with respect and dignity. I hear the Halloween party is pretty cool! The Work: The software is engaging and provides many learning opportunities in different facets of technology and customer service The People: Any department I look at working here, is filled with hard working colleagues. No slacking middle management. Everyone who is here, is here to get stuff done

Cons

Benefits: A little sparse being a smaller company. They cover well enough though. The Learning Curve: The learning curve is steep, however is gripping as well. The team is around to help but without asking questions, it will be difficult.

Pros

Working at ClubRunner has been a great experience. Everybody in the company from your own team members to those from other departments and also management are very approachable and supportive. We're given the tools and resources to not just accomplish our tasks but also effectively communicate with our team members and other colleagues. It's a pretty focused work environment. We work hard but we have tons of fun doing it and work life balance is respected. With the advent of this pandemic we now all work remotely from home. However, we constantly communicate online with slack, zoom, huddles etc. to ensure you're able to get the help you need with your role. I have been with ClubRunner for several years and the opportunity for professional growth is limitless. Initiative with new ideas are welcomed and encouraged, and feedback is provided on an ongoing basis rather than just the standard annual reviews.

Cons

Perhaps communication between the different teams can be improved. It would be nice to have more regular updates from other teams on what they are doing so we have a better idea of where the company is overall.
