First off, thank you for sharing your comments. We want to continue to improve everything and everyone within the company, so I appreciate you sharing that with us.
As far as us being a "cult"... our Book Club (which I'm assuming you're referring to) was created for what it is. A way to help our employees have a better and more fulfilling life by PAYING our employees to read books (which I personally pay for as well) in order to help them have better relationships and learn how to manage their money better. Based on the evidence of the last 15 years... it's working. :0)
I see you were in Sales with us... so please allow me to apologize for one very critical mistake I made (and it's all on me as the CEO). Though they certainly were not a "snake"... I kept a weak, non-performing leader for way too long because of my personal attachment to them. As a result, we hampered the chances for success of anyone in that leader's department during the last few years. We have since replaced that person and I am very thankful to report that the new leader has an amazing track record of 5 out of 6 new sales reps doing the job quite successfully... and you can easily find that out today merely by asking them.
Again, I apologize for that happening during your time with us. I truly do. Considering we have been on INC Magazine's "Best Places to Work in America" List for TWO of the last three years... and there's no way for us to know HOW our employees answered their surveys... that says all we really NEED to know. We're doing pretty well.
Our company has also been written up (in very positive ways) in THREE business books after their authors visited our company personally. Are we perfect? Certainly not! But we are always working to improve everything within our walls.
Again, I am deeply sorry that your time with us was not beneficial to you. I pray you have found a great place to work today where your talents are a good fit.
Thanks again,
David Long, CEO
