Pros

I have really enjoyed being supported by my current supervisor. She is always looking for ways to help me grow. Without her I would not enjoy my job as much!

Cons

Branch managers don't seem to care if their frontline is staffed and feel under appreciated. Our frontline is what our members rely on and when there is a high rate of turnover it's hard for members to keep their trust in us.

Thanks for your feedback and more than 10 years of service at SPIRE! It’s great to hear that you are getting the support from your Supervisor that you need in order to grow. Coaching is an important piece of our culture at SPIRE – it’s wonderful to hear that it’s working! As far as staffing ups/downs it’s always a tricky aspect for a company especially in this job market. Although we try to get jobs filled as quickly as possible, with only 3.8% unemployment in MN it does sometimes take longer than we would hope. We truly value all our employees no matter what branch they work in. We would encourage you to follow up with the HR department directly so you can discuss any specific concerns you may have with pay and/or benefits. Thanks for your feedback.

Pros

Generous benefits that support employee health. Considerate managers and close knit teams. Fun holiday outings and generous quarterly goals paid out to the entire company.

Cons

You have to remain in your hired position for one full year before you are ever considered to be a worthy candidate for an internal position even if you would be a superior applicant for another role Blaze is hiring for. If you start in customer service good luck ever getting out of it unless that is what you want. There are rigid requirements on upward mobility and even if you prove yourself you will have to wait. If you ever thought working remotely at Blaze would be an option, there are employees who work remotely in admin that are being pushed out, the company is slowly pushing employees back into office.
