Corazon Response
3yThank you for taking time to provide feedback. It is unfortunate that your experience at Corazon was less than desirable. We are always trying to find ways to improve the employee work environment so that we can do “business better.”
While Corazon could be identified as a family company, our employee team is composed of more than just family and/or close friends. Currently, of those employed by the company, one-third are family or close friends of family members. Clearly, this is much less than the majority of the company. Corazon is not a business that provides preferential treatment to family members which is also evidenced in an ownership base that involves many non-relatives.
In reviewing starting salaries for all employees by job title upon hire, all individuals are paid in a way that is commensurate with their knowledge and experience. There are many instances of family members that were paid less than a non-family member for the same position. Familial relationships play no role in salary. Over the past two years, there were a total of 13 promotions awarded to various deserving employees with only five promotions awarded to family members. Promotions are undoubtedly awarded to someone that has earned it.
Corazon continues to be a very flexible work environment for all employees. This was demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic where many companies were forced to close or furlough employees. Corazon was able to allow all employees to work remotely until there could be a safe transition back to the office. In fact, we have moved to a hybrid work model where any employee can work remotely as needed.
Thank you again for your feedback. We wish you the best for your future experiences.
Kind Regards,
Karen Hartman
CEO & President
