Lots of Love but poorly managed - Anonymous employee Torre Employee Review

Hi there, We don't use paychecks. You are describing a situation that is impossible. We pay monthly on the 25th and vendors every Thursday. Fortunately until today, we've never received a complaint on the payment schedule. We are not sure how you could report a situation like this. In regards to your feelings about our finances, allow us to emphasise on the following: We are a bootstrapped company. We've never hidden it. On the contrary, we are proud of it. Our customers are our investors! That approach makes us persistent and tenacious on how we get things done. We like making our team members accountable for their financial decisions at the company. We like people and teams to be scrappy. To keep an open organization, we share numbers with all the team. We do it on a quarterly basis. While you could see it as a stressful situation, most people at the company appreciate looking at the financials. It gives all of us accountability on what we are doing to move forward. As for professional development, we firmly believe it's on the individual to proceed their career. We, as team leaders, open all possible doors to achieve those goals, whether that implies opening chapters to discuss topics of interest; opening our network for mentorship; always recommending readings or financing classes that will improve our team members' skills. While many companies don't have constant touch points with their team leaders, we encourage weekly 1-1 and ask on a daily basis what is stifling people. Likewise, every Wednesday we host town halls for open Q&A. It's confusing to read your comments when you had the possibility to use all of these spaces to communicate your perspective. Nevertheless, if you were in fact part of our team, we wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavours.
